84. “Go Away, Mommy!”: How to Respond Effectively When Your Highly Sensitive Child Pushes You Away When They Need You Most

Has your child ever told you to “go away!” … but then gotten super upset when you actually tried to give them space? Yep, mine has too. It’s so hard to know what you’re supposed to do in those moments!

In this week's episode, I unpack why highly sensitive kids tend to push us away when they need us most – and what we can do to respond effectively in these moments. I also show you how to know the difference between the times when your child needs you to stay despite their pushing you away … and the times where your child actually does need some space.

Here’s the thing: Highly sensitive kids WILL push us away when they need us most – it’s a self-protective unconscious response. But when we know how to respond effectively, we can avoid triggering their worst fears and making the situation harder than it needs to be.
