As we know, highly sensitive kids feel things deeply. When they’re excited, everyone around them knows it. They bubble over with excitement! Their joy is contagious. But when they are sad, they’re overcome with sorrow. If something is stressful for them, it’s completely overwhelming.
Anger, like any other emotion, is also felt in a big way. So if you have a kid who you think is highly sensitive and they get angry in a big way, this episode is for you. We’re going to talk about a couple of things you can do to help moderate your own response to their anger, and we’ll look at how we can help them in more detail next week (in part 2).

If you are struggling to parent your highly sensitive child, one on one coaching may be just the answer you've been looking for. I work with my clients weekly for a period of at least six months to help them better understand their child's big emotions and challenging behaviors AND understand and shift their own heat-of-the-moment reactions to their child's emotions and behaviors so that they can show up the way they want to: calm, connected, present.
If you feel like you've tried everything and nothing's worked, let's talk.
