What does it mean to be a highly sensitive person? Is it the same as being neurodivergent or on the autism spectrum? These are tricky and sometimes controversial questions, especially when raising sensitive kids. In this episode, we’re unpacking what sensitivity really means and why it matters for kids and adults alike.
The thing is, labels aren’t about limits—they’re about understanding. By recognizing your child’s sensitivities (or your own), you can support them in becoming their best, most authentic self. Sensitivity isn’t a flaw; it’s often tied to incredible strengths and beauty.
Through evidence-based insights and practical guidance, we’ll explore how to truly support the sensitive people in our lives—whether that means helping kids manage big emotions or giving yourself space to recharge. With the right tools and a little compassion, sensitivity can be something to celebrate, not just navigate.
