My message of hope would be that, yes, life can seem and feel very overwhelming.
Ever wonder why your child is bothered by the smallest things, like the tags on their clothes or the texture of their food? In this episode of 'KellyApy - The Self Help Podcast', host Kelly Mahony sits down with her friend Leslie to discuss the unique journey of raising a Highly Sensitive Child (HSC). Leslie opens up about her son, who reacts intensely to his surroundings, making everyday life a bit more complicated.
After numerous doctor visits and endless online research, Leslie found clarity in Dr. Elaine N. Aron's book, 'The Highly Sensitive Child'. The book explains that about 15-20% of children have an advanced nervous system that makes them more sensitive to their environment. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for parents navigating this often perplexing path. Leslie shares tips on reframing expectations, effective communication, and the importance of self-care for parents.
She also recommends 'Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverted Kids' by Susan Cain as a helpful resource. If you're feeling overwhelmed by your child's heightened sensitivities, this episode offers both understanding and hope.
