Episode notes
Be Present During Big Emotions
- Sit with your child during big emotions and show physical presence rather than rushing to fix things.
- Validate feelings nonverbally and verbally by saying things like “I’m here.”
See Temperament As Tendencies
- Temperament is a tendency, not a fixed box; use strengths and needs to guide parenting.
- Focus on skills that turn sensitivity into social strengths rather than trying to erase it.
Pre-Plan Support For Stressful Settings
- Prepare sensitive kids for challenging settings by scaffolding and staying visible nearby.
- Teach them to signal you quickly and use simple language to seek help in the moment.
