Season 2 Episode 17 The Lafaya Way: Caring for Your Very Sensitive Person (Part 2 of 2)

SISU Journey

In this episode of the SISU Journey podcast, Lafaya Mitchell talks more about the steps to the Lafaya Way. Sometimes, a child’s behavior that seems frustrating may be due to the fact that they’re hypersensitive. Find out what approaches you can take when parenting hypersensitive children. Stay tuned!

Here are the things to expect in this episode:

• Stop personalizing. If your kid does something that upsets you, it doesn’t mean that they don’t appreciate you.
• Try to understand why they’re behaving against themselves instead of reacting to misbehavior.
• The three Rs to consider when making improvements.
• How can families better understand and respond to hypersensitive children?
• And more!

This is episode 2 of 2. If you haven’t listened to Episode 1 yet, please go back to the last episode and listen from the beginning.
