We've all been there: trying to help our highly sensitive kids use coping skills, only to realize they’re still overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m sharing why coping skills don’t always work for sensitive kids—and how you might be using them wrong without even knowing it.
It’s easy to fall into the habit of asking your child to use a coping skill to escape big emotions, but that doesn’t teach them to truly cope. I’ll explain why it’s so important to let your sensitive child feel their emotions and how to guide them through those feelings.
Here’s the thing: Highly sensitive kids feel emotions more deeply than others, and relying on coping skills alone can actually keep them from learning to process those big feelings. But with the right approach, you’ll help your child not just escape emotions but navigate through them with confidence.
