  • As a parent of a sensitive child, you know the heartache of watching them meltdown over seemingly small bits of constructive feedback.

     

    It's painful to see your kid react so strongly, and not know how to help them calmly receive guidance to grow.

     

    Here's what most parenting experts won't tell you:

     

    Your own ability to take feedback is directly tied to your sensitive child's ability to do the same.

  • A little tooth sensitivity is easy to brush off. "It's not a big deal," you think.

     

    But beneath the surface, decay is silently eating away at the root.

     

    By the time you're wincing in pain with every bite, that little cavity is now a big, expensive root canal.

    Can you imagine parenting like that? Of course you would never neglect your kid’s tooth pain.

     

    Quick question– why are you ignoring your own exhaustion as a parent, treating it like a neglected toothache?

    What does this have to do with teaching your child to take responsibility for their actions?

     

    Your sensitive child's daily meltdowns are just like emotional cavities, eroding their resilience at the root.

     

    Fill them now before you're facing an emotional extraction that didn't have to happen.

  • Let's be real - if your sensitive child is having daily meltdowns, it's a glaring sign they haven't yet developed a resourceful identity.

     

    Resourcefulness is non-negotiable for your child's lifelong success and happiness. It's the key to resilience.

     

    If your child can't creatively solve problems or stay present when upset, they're stuck in the meltdown cycle. 

     

    And that cycle won't end on its own.

     

    When they refuse options and meltdown instead of problem-solving, they're telling you they need help rewiring their brain for resilience.

     

    That's exactly what we do in our latest parent training.

  • As a parent of a highly sensitive child, you know the daily struggle of trying to get your kiddo to open up about their big feelings without triggering a meltdown.

     

    It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking:

    "My child just won't talk to ME about their emotions. They must need a professional to teach them how to self-regulate."

     

    I get it. When your attempts at emotional coaching lead to more shut down than breakthrough, it's tempting to outsource the job to a therapist.

     

    But here's the truth: YOU are the exact right person to guide your child to emotional mastery. And trying to delegate that role can actually backfire.

  • When your highly sensitive child (HSC) struggles with transitions, it can feel like you're stuck in an endless loop of negotiations, meltdowns, and frustration.

     

    I know you love your child deeply, but the daily battles over getting out the door, starting homework, or going to bed are sucking the joy out of parenting.

     

    Here's what you need to know: your child isn't giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time. And they need you to be their emotional anchor through the turbulent waters of change.

     

    As a parent of an HSC, your job isn't to simply make your child "obey" or comply with transitions on your timeline.

     

    Your role is to create an environment that honors their unique sensitivities and equips them with the tools to navigate change in a way that feels safe and manageable to their nervous system.

  • As a parent of a highly sensitive child (HSC), you know how overwhelming and intense their meltdowns can be. Not only for you, but for their siblings too.

     

    It's a common struggle I hear from parents in your shoes:

     

    You're trying to console your HSC and help them through the meltdown, but their siblings keep intervening - either trying to "fix it", giving in to demands, or getting upset themselves.

     

    You want to remove your HSC to a calmer environment, but worry about leaving the other kids alone or making your sensitive child feel isolated and ashamed.

     

    You attempt to set boundaries with the siblings, but in the heat of the moment it's hard to be firm and consistent.

     

    You love all your children and want to be fair, but your HSC's big reactions take up so much bandwidth, the other kids' needs often get backseat.

     

    Here's the truth - trying to juggle everyone's feelings and reactions in the midst of a meltdown is an impossible task. It's not your fault these situations feel unmanageable.

     

    But there is a way to honor your HSC's emotions, without sacrificing your other children's wellbeing. It starts with a plan.

  • As the parent of a highly sensitive child (HSC), you've likely faced the uncomfortable situation of your child having a public meltdown or shutdown… or have the fear that this might happen soon… 

     

    Maybe it was at a family gathering, the grocery store, or school pickup. 

     

    Wherever it happened, all eyes were on you and your child.

     

    In that moment, you had a choice:

     

    Advocate for your child's needs and emotional reality, even if it means an awkward conversation…

     

    Or stay quiet to avoid judgment or unsolicited parenting advice from others.

  • If you have a highly sensitive child prone to meltdowns, most parents feel exhausted, worried and even hopeless.You love your child deeply, and to avoid the daily emotional rollercoaster from sucking the joy out of parenting and your family life, you'll need to keep in mind a few things about helping your child feel less out of control.

     

    You may have been told that sensitivity is just "how they're wired" - that your child will always be "difficult" and struggle to cope with life's demands.

     

    I'm here to tell you that this simply isn't true. The latest neuroscience has revealed that resilience isn't a fixed trait - it can absolutely be cultivated with the right parenting approach.

  • If your kid could just handle the regular every day stuff your summer would be much more enjoyable, right?

     

    Maybe it's the splashing sounds at the pool that suddenly overwhelm your child's senses.

     

    Or the booming fireworks that terrify them despite your assurances it will be okay.

     

    Heck, it could even be putting on sunscreen before a fun beach day that sets them off.

     

    In the moment, you rack your brain trying to figure out how to "fix" the situation and talk them down. 

     

    You beg, reason, reassure - anything to avoid the public meltdown.

     

    Yet no matter what logical explanations you provide, the emotional storm still rages.

  • You use intuition all the time without realizing it.

     

    Like when deciding if that plate of food looks appetizing.

     

    Or knowing the coffee you're about to drink will be very hot.

     

    But I see so many parents struggle to trust their intuition with their kids… mainly because they let fear override it.

     

    Your gut tells you something is a good or bad decision.

     

    Then the doubts start creeping in from others' opinions… or the need to be liked… or the need to create convenience… or low self esteem..

  • Last week, I attended a coaching event with my mastermind group and it became clear to me why many parents struggle with raising sensitive kids.

     

    One business owner (also a mom) at the event was questioning if she belonged there because she was too focused on comparing her accomplishments to everyone else's online success. 

     

    But I could see that she was very close to reaching her own goals.

     

    I understand. 

     

    As parents, we are constantly measuring ourselves against an unrealistic or unknown standard, whether it's another mom who seems to have everything figured out or just an unattainable ideal of perfection.

  • Your sensitive child freezes in frustration, don't they?

     

    Schoolwork, chores, friendships - the second things get tough, they quit.

     

    As their parent, witnessing their lack of resilience breaks your heart.

     

    You know deep down that if they could move through discomfort, amazing things would happen.

     

    Yet every time you try coaching them, every time you encourage perseverance...

     

    You get met with tears, tantrums, and complete shutdown from your discouraged child.

     

    Your frustration boils over in those heated moments despite your best intentions.

     

    You revert to criticizing, yelling, or simply giving up yourself out of sheer exasperation.

     

    After all, you feel like you can't be calm and lead with compassion when they won’t listen.

  • If it feels like your HSC is down in the dumps more than the average kid,

     

    You’ll want to hear this.

     

    You are not alone.

     

    Our client Savannah knows exactly how that feels, and that feeling was HARD to work through.

     

    Savannah’s story is common for parents who are stuck in the meltdown cycle.

     

    She wanted to be a mom for such a long time,

     

    And the fact that her child seemed melancholy SO often was disheartening.

     

    She describes her HSC as feeling upset and on edge constantly,

    Crying often,

    And even stated that there was a lack of connection.

     

    She felt like no matter how much her and Alan tried, 

    They could not meet their HSC’s needs.

     

    She also felt like she could not help her child in the midst of a meltdown.

     

    And that was really discouraging.

     

    In Savannah’s words, “I felt helpless. I was failing myself and my daughter.”

     

    So how did this family break out of the meltdown cycle with MTC’s help?

  • You try so hard to be a great parent, don't you?

     

    You read all the books, listen to the podcasts, join Facebook groups...

     

    You soak up every tip and trick to help your sensitive child stop melting down.

     

    And sometimes those strategies work - for a little while at least.

     

    For a week or two, your child is calmer and more in control of their big emotions.

     

    You breathe that sigh of relief, thinking you've finally cracked the code.

     

    But then, almost as quickly as the progress came, it's gone again.

     

    The meltdowns return, and you're back at square one, feeling defeated.

     

    Why does this keep happening? Why can't you find something that actually sticks?

  • You walk on eggshells, don't you?

    Holding your breath until your sensitive child gets home from school...

    Bracing for the emotional tsunami that'll come crashing through the door at 3pm.

    And just like that, the dam breaks.
