Wellness for the Sensitive Child
Social-Emotional Abilities
Child self-regulation and social-emotional skills are learned through the co-regulation of a healthy, calm adult.
​
From societal stressors including multi-tasking and over-scheduling to the impact of technology on children’s minds, we live in a complex environment. It is difficult to maintain our sanity, never mind moving forward in our goals.
Our philosophy is strength-based and family centred. We emphasize prevention and intervention strategies to reduce both the tension in the household and a reactive style of parenting. If emotional challenges can be eliminated, the focus can be on spending quality, loving time with your child.
​
Healthy children come from healthy and well-balanced parents.

Sensitive Children
Engaged Children
Challenging perceptions and building trust with your sensitive child requires you to examine and ask questions of yourself.
​
Is my home a community where we all contribute or am I doing all the work?
Have I examined my own triggers and thus don’t get into power struggles and risk my connection with my child?
​
Am I reduced to using threat and punishment to discipline my child?
Am I teaching my child responsibility or obedience?
How is my relationship with my child?
Do we still have fun together?
We will explore...

Language and its' powerful impacts
-
