129. BTS: How can I support my sensitive, "spicy," highly emotional child?

25 min • 31 augusti 2023

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

 

2:37 - What is a "spicy" kid and how is that a more positive term than "sensitive" or "highly emotional"?

 

4:05 - What is the difference between continuum and categorical and how does this apply to these highly reactive kids.

 

4:54 - Helping kids who easily go to feelings of shame while setting limits.

 

8:32 - Teaching our children the difference between shame and guilt and how this can be a beneficial parenting tool to use with the children that quickly go to a place of shame.

 

12:08 - Create opportunities for your child to feel a sense of mastery, in control, self-confident, and proud by inviting them to participate in tasks you know they can excel at.

 

19:31 - Try using the terms "safe" or "unsafe" rather than "good/bad" or "mean/nice" when describing your child's behaviors.
