135. BTS: What can I do when all the "rules" for setting limits don't work for my sensitive kid‪?‬ Securely Attached

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.
