Sensitive Kids
Energetic Tools for the Family

 Some children seem to struggle more than others with fears, overwhelm, over-thinking, or poor sleep. Maybe you've noticed that your child is highly sensitive and tends to be overly affected by what's going on around them.
  • For some children, this leads to being overly excitable, having meltdowns, and feeling anxious.
  • Other children may respond by avoiding and withdrawing and becoming resistant.
  • Still others become peacemakers to try to quiet the storm around them. They are so attuned to and affected by other people's emotions and energy that they will focus on others before themselves in an attempt to feel safe.
The new science of Polyvagal Theory helps us understand that each of these ways of reacting to challenges is related to how the nervous system responds to feeling unsafe.

This class combines Polyvagal Theory with our 35 years of experience in energy medicine. By understanding how your nervous system and energy system affect how you feel and behave, you will understand 
yourself and your child better.
By using the tools that we teach in this class, you'll be able to help your child and yourself 
better handle stress, anxiety, and strong emotions.

This will support a more compassionate (including self-compassion!), responsive and calm atmosphere in your family and help you and your child be more comfortable in high stimulus environments.
​

About the Class

This class is designed for children ages 5-12.

We find the best results come when everyone in the family understands the concepts and tools that are taught, so at least one parent or caregiver must attend with their child. If the whole family/household

wants to attend, even better!

You will learn:
• How anxiety and overwhelm affect your energy body.
• How to be "grounded" and why it is so important.
• Why meltdowns and anxious feelings happen and that there's nothing wrong with your emotions and feelings.
• Tools to work with the energy system and the nervous system to reduce "meltdowns" and improve sleep.
• Why cues of safety are paramount to managing nervous system states and how to use them to calm the mind and emotions.

The Sensitive Kids Class Includes:

  • Two 60-minute live, online sessions for the whole family on Zoom. Recordings will be available.
  • Downloadable PDF pre-class booklet
  • Downloadable review videos and audios
  • Downloadable PDF practice review handouts
  • Ongoing access to the course content
