About the Talk:

Children who are highly sensitive by nature are wired to register their feelings and experiences in the world more deeply than other kids—both emotionally and from a sensory perspective. This means they get triggered into stress-mode more quickly than other children. They get overwhelmed and feel out of control of their big emotions and big reactions to sensory experiences which translates into more frequent and intense meltdowns and more difficulty coping with life’s inevitable challenges. This workshop will provide insight into the meaning of the behavior of highly sensitive kids and what parents can do to celebrate and support them. The talk will address:

• Key attributes of highly sensitive children

• Case studies of typical challenges that arise with highly sensitive kids

• Strategies for helping children cope with their big emotions, adapt to new situations, manage frustration, and the need to be perfect.
