EPISODE OVERVIEW Maureen talks about the emotional brain and allowing our feelings to just be feelings.  We discuss discipline for Highly Sensitive Children (HSCs), and the importance of creating connections with our kids. Maureen shares tips and tools for bringing calmness and grounding to emotionally reactive situations.   HIGHLIGHTS Maureen shares her thoughts about the term Highly Sensitive Person Maureen discusses the work she does with children in her private practice and how the term HSP can sometimes be used as an excuse (in her estimation) She explains her belief that everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum of sensitivity and the benefits as well as downsides to labeling I share the freedom that I experienced when I was able to give my emotions a name and know that it’s a researched trait, and it’s how I’m wired; there’s nothing wrong with me. Maureen discusses what is an emotionally healthy child We talk about The Emotional Brain Wholeness is more important than happiness We discuss how parents have the opportunity to model how we manage big feelings and how we calm ourselves in order to demonstrate this for our children Maureen gives the 3 steps to raising an emotionally healthy child The importance of authenticity in your relationship with a Highly Sensitive Child (HSC) Maureen answers questions from members of the Unapologetically Sensitive Facebook group (Amber Landsford and Kevin Thibault) Maureen talks about the importance of slowing down, getting emotions out, and bringing logic and calming to challenging situations The importance of giving your child a safe space to feel their feelings and for them to know that all feelings are acceptable Letting kids know that they are bigger than their feelings The importance of forgiveness and knowing how to forgive Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) have some gifts that non-sensitives do not have, and when we are able to gain mastery over our capacity to react emotionally, we can be powerhouses Surround yourself with people who really have the capacity to embrace who you are The more we expand on our capacity to feel uncomfortable things, the more that space opens up for more good things like joy and happiness and bliss   BIO Maureen Healy is the author of The Emotionally Healthy Child and also Growing Happy Kids, which won Nautilus and Readers’ Favorite book awards in 2014.
