If mornings with your sensitive child feel like an emotional rollercoaster — one wrong move and everything spirals — you’re definitely not alone. Maybe they wake up already grumpy, refuse to get dressed, or melt down over something tiny. You start the day exhausted before it even begins.

In this episode, we’ll talk about why mornings go off the rails so often with sensitive kids — and why your best efforts to stay calm, be logical, or “just get through it” don’t always work. I’ll share 3 key reasons behind those chaotic mornings that might surprise you.

Then we’ll get into what you can do — 3 simple, connection-focused shifts that help you move from walking on eggshells to starting the day on the same team. Because even the hardest mornings can become moments of growth and connection.
