Have you ever considered therapy for your sensitive child, hoping it might be the key to managing their meltdowns and learning to regulate their big emotions? If so, this episode offers 5 compelling reasons to reconsider this intervention — from a play therapist & parenting specialist.
Anger is one of the trickiest emotions we deal with as parents. When our kids are angry – especially at us – it can be SO tough to stay calm and regulated and to respond in a way that feels good!
When your child acts out, the instinct is to shut the behavior down. That instinct needs to be ignored. Dr. Hilary is a clinical psychologist, parenting coach, & mom of three sensitive, emotionally intense kids who still gets humbled in these moments
This episode is for the parent who's stuck in the meltdown cycle with a sensitive, emotionally intense child and feels like they and their partner aren't on the same team anymore.

If you’ve been thinking, “I’ve tried everything, and nothing is changing,” Dr. Hilary will help you understand why knowledge alone isn’t stopping the meltdowns, and what’s been missing from the way most of us were taught to parent.
