"Why Is My Child Suddenly Talking Like a Baby?!" What Makes Baby Talk So Triggering (& How to Respond to Your Sensitive Child to Support Healthy Development!)
When your highly sensitive child starts using baby talk, it can throw you off. Is this a setback? Anxiety? Something bigger? In this episode, we’re digging into what’s really going on, why it can feel so triggering, and how to shift your perspective so you see it as a window into your child’s emotional needs—not something to “fix.”
This topic comes straight from a listener’s question, and it’s one so many parents struggle with. In a world that pushes independence, baby talk can feel frustrating, even embarrassing. But what if, instead of seeing it as a problem, we saw it as a way our kids are looking for connection and safety?
Let’s talk about how to handle these moments in a way that meets your child where they are—without shame or worry. With a few simple shifts, you can respond in a way that builds emotional regulation, strengthens your bond, and helps your child feel truly seen.
