Episode 011: Parenting Secrets For Raising The Highly Sensitive Child
Hey There Gorgeous!
Hope you're enjoying your Summer, are you ready for the kiddos to head back to school yet? π
I homeschool mine, so its actually the opposite for me, I love the freedom Summer brings, I get so much more done!
With school getting ready to go back into session, and being that you've had all these weeks with the kids, I thought I'd share a few secrets about raising highly sensitive children.
Some of my absolute favorite clients have been working with families raising these highly intelligent, sensitive, super active, ridiculously amazing, yet demanding kids!
My business was called Nourish The Gift - Not the Disorder, often it's simply about bringing these kids into balance, to nourish their gifts rather than the destructive patterns that can show up when out of balance.
After being a highly sensitive child myself, and raising four of my own along with several years of working with Physicians and families across the nation, I thought I'd share a few tips to benefit your family as they head back to school.
Often they may have been labeled as ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, Asperger's, Depression and so on- You know who your highly sensitive kids are, it can be a tough job at times (but they chose you as parents so you obviously are meant for the job.)
These kiddos senses are on overdrive, often like us as Empath's who feel, "too much," these kids do too....they are light worker's after-all!!
Their sight, smell, hearing, touch, and sensing abilities all work on overdrive, the difference is these children can't regulate or communicate what is happening.
That's why creating boundaries for them, and teaching them how to create their own is one of the greatest gifts you can give them.

This week's podcast episode of The Empath Woman Awaken Podcast I share my parenting tips for raising happy, healthy kids who also happen to be highly sensitive, light worker children.
Learning to set boundaries is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your highly sensitive children, and a good majority will push those boundaries.
It is also important to realize where your boundaries should be in place for what they are responsible for in your own life.
In this Podcast episode I teach you:
- To set both energetic and physical boundaries that lead to healthier and happier relationships with your children.
- The single most important parenting tip I have learned through raising my now oldest 24 year old and what I wish I would have known then.
- Learn what works so you don't feel like you're parenting in the dark, with no idea of what you 're doing.
