Understanding Your Highly Sensitive Child

CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 144

Have you noticed your child doesn’t enjoy being at birthday parties? Do they struggle hearing loud noises? Does your child appear to not like the seams in their socks? Or have they felt overwhelmed by crowds and are very observant? Some people may read this list and think you’re describing the symptoms of Autism. They could be right but did you know it could also be the symptoms of high sensitivity? Today I speak with Maureen and how they have navigated learning about high sensitivity in her family. 

The topics we cover in this episode are:

  • An introduction to Maureen and her two sons

  • What it means to be highly sensitive

  • What high sensitivity is not

  • How it can be misdiagnosed as something else

  • How to determine if my child is highly sensitive

  • What support to put around your family

  • How Maureen rests and relaxes
