243. Why sensitive kids won't take a deep breath

If you're the parent of a highly sensitive child, you've probably tried everything to help them manage their meltdowns. Breathing exercises, counting to ten, talking it out afterwards... but nothing seems to stick. It's an endless cycle of reactivity, and it's exhausting for everyone involved. But here's the thing: it's not your fault, and it's not your child's fault either. The real problem is that most therapists and parenting strategies focus on reactive care. They wait for a meltdown to happen, then try to slap a band-aid skill on it and hope for the best. But that's like trying to build a house without a foundation. It might look okay for a minute, but it won't stand up to the first big storm.
