Through a balance of learning, support, discussion, small group work, and rejuvenating self-care, you will learn:
- How to recognize the unique temperaments and traits associated with high sensitivity and identify the differences between these and common childhood diagnoses
- Why temperament matters in parenting and how to safely and effectively provide highly sensitive children and teens with what they need most
- How parents, teachers, and professionals can best equip themselves to handle the unique bonds and challenges of being in close relationship with highly sensitive kids
- The gifts highly sensitive children bring to the world and how to help these gifts thrive in a predominately “nonsensitive” culture.
The workshop is for parents and professionals who work with children who either live with or work with the 20% of the population that is highly sensitive.
