Did you ever realize that your child's high sensitivity might be a mirror reflecting your own? In this episode, I take you on a personal journey back to my own childhood, where I grappled with being highly sensitive, often feeling overwhelmed by emotions and retreating to my room to cry when things felt too intense.

I share the shame and isolation I felt growing up, feeling too much and too deeply, and how these experiences initially left me confused and easily hurt. It wasn't until I became a parent to a highly sensitive child that I began to truly understand and appreciate the depth of my own feelings.

In this episode, we'll explore how recognizing your own sensitivity can illuminate your parenting path and deepen your connection with your child. Here’s the thing: it’s important to recognize sensitivity not as a burden, but as a superpower. I’ll let you in on a secret – when we recognize sensitivity as a superpower, we can pay more attention to how we respond to big feelings, which equals a more nurturing and supportive family environment.

Raised Resilient: Help Your Highly Sensitive Child

Parenting: It’s the hardest job we’ll ever do. Most of us are tired, stressed, struggling through meltdowns, and counting the minutes until bedtime.But what if raising kids could feel just a little lighter? What if you could end even the hardest day feeling good about how you’re parenting? I’m Dr. Hilary Mandzik – a licensed psychologist and mama of 3 changing the way we do parenting, so there’s less stress and more joy, even in the hardest moments! Join me each week on the Raised Resilient Podcast as we explore tough parenting topics, from managing meltdowns to building self-esteem (and everything in between!). I’ll help you understand your child’s behavior (and your reactions to it!) so that even the really hard moments make more sense. I’ll empower you with tools, strategies, and scripts to navigate those really hard moments with connection and confidence. (And I’ll remind you that no tool, strategy, or script is as powerful as your parenting ace – your relationship with your child!)I’m passionate about parenting differently – parenting in a way that sees all kids as good, even when they’re struggling. I’m passionate about breaking unhelpful generational cycles and putting a hard stop to spanking, time outs, shaming, and yelling. I want to help you stop worrying about whether you’re “raising them right” and feel confident that your kids will grow up trusting themselves and feeling comfortable in their skin … because they were raised resilient. And that’s big. Because raising our kids resilient can literally make this world a better place.Listen, parenting is hard no matter how you do it. You won’t “enjoy every moment”, no matter what that lady at the store says. But I’m here to help you go from just barely surviving to parenting in a way that genuinely feels good, for you and your child. So, warm up your coffee and grab your ear buds. It’s time to raise resilient kids!Connect with me:https://www.raisedresilient.com/IG: @raisedresilientGet your Free Managing Meltdowns Guide: https://www.raisedresilient.com/download
