135. Q&A: What can I do when all the "rules" for setting limits don't work for my sensitive kid?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

6:22 - How to allow sensitive children to feel seen and understood, without making them shut down or feel uncomfortable with too much direct attention.

7:17 - Behavioral interventions to use with sensitive kids when they are fully dysregulated and as they start to cool down.

9:05 - Being intentional about using structures and systems preemptively so sensitive children understand expectations and can predict what will happen next.

15:56 - While this may sound like it take a lot of time and attention, in the end it's easier than managing the meltdown.

20:31 - Things will come up that you can't anticipate, and that's where theses strategies of recognizing, validating, redirecting, and recovering are helpful.
