How to Handle Power Struggles with Your Sensitive Child (Without Getting Pulled Into the Tug-of-War!)
Manage episode 461225590 series 3316661
Power struggles with highly sensitive kids can be draining—but what if there’s a different way to handle them? In this episode, we’ll unpack why power struggles happen and what’s really going on beneath the surface. Hint: it’s less about “winning” or “losing” and more about understanding the underlying need for control.
These struggles often arise when sensitive kids feel the need to assert control, whether to feel secure or to avoid difficult emotions. While it’s natural for them to draw us into these moments, trying to overpower them isn’t the solution.
Here’s the thing: power struggles can be a chance to connect and guide your child instead of engaging in a standoff. Tune in to discover practical, effective strategies to step away from the tug-of-war, encourage cooperation, and make your child feel truly understood.
