Co-Regulation Strategies for Parents of Highly Sensitive Children
Parenting a highly sensitive child is a bit like walking a tightrope while carrying your heart outside your body. Their emotions are big, fast, and deeply felt. You might notice they react more intensely to everyday situations, need more time to recover from upsets, or are overwhelmed by sensory input or changes in routine.
Tools for Behavior Regulation at Every Stage of Childhood
As parents, we often find ourselves navigating a sea of emotions, not just our children's, but our own, too. From the baby who wails the moment they're set down, to the teen who slams the door after a tough day, behavior can feel confusing or even overwhelming.
