Today I'm diving into a personal story that I think many of you will relate to. Earlier this week, we explored how to support school refusal, and now I’m sharing how I put those strategies into action with my oldest child during his tough transition from second to third grade.

As a sensitive child who needs time to adjust to changes, the jump from one grade to the next felt overwhelming for him. I had an idea that seemed like a gamble, but I decided to take the risk. It turned out to be exactly what he needed, and this unexpected approach helped him prepare for the next day of school in a way that surprised us both.

Join me as I walk you through exactly what I did and how it played out. This episode is all about embracing the challenges of parenting sensitive kids and finding those moments where connection and understanding can truly make a difference.
