How To Care For Highly Sensitive Children - Melissa Schwartz [88] Oct 17, 2017

Show notes

Does your child sometimes feel like a ticking time bomb? Ready to explode at any moment?

That's how it was for me with my oldest daughter. It seemed like almost everything caused her some kind of distress. She was SO attuned to my moods; we had to cut out all of the tags in her clothes; and if she missed a nap? Forget it, we were doomed.

There was SO much to learn. There were so many skills I didn't have!

I later realized that Maggie is a Highly Sensitive Child. And I realized that someone else was Highly Sensitive too (can you guess who that is?).

On this episode, I talk to Melissa Schwartz, expert on Highly Sensitive Children and how to take care of them.

Melissa is a respected expert in the field of Highly Sensitive Children and brings clarity, personal experience and compassion for parents raising HSCs so they can thrive in a de-sensitized world. Find out more about Melissa's work at Leading Edge Parenting.

The Science of Self-Compassion - Kristen Neff [84] Sep 19, 2017

Show notes

What do you say to yourself when you mess up with your kids? If you are like many of us, you berate yourself.

My guest, Kristin Neff, has done the research that shows that our harsh self-criticism does NOT work. It doesn't help us grow and become better parents. In fact, it does the opposite.

So what does work? Self-compassion.

Kristin Neff is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion over a decade ago. In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed an empirically supported eight-week training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, and offers workshops on self-compassion worldwide.

The Mindful Mama Manifesto [83] Sep 12, 2017

Show notes

I know that the tools and teachings that I've immersed my life in are life-changing. Mindfulness, self-compassion, and skillful communication have transformed my life and the lives of millions around the world.

They are research-proven, powerful tools.

But it's more than just the tools. It's a change in the way we approach the world and life itself. I took the time to think about that recently and I realized that this shift in mindset should have a rallying cry.

So I've created the MINDFUL MAMA MANIFESTO!
