Has your child been called difficult, fussy, or “too sensitive”?
Does your child feel things so deeply that they become easily anxious, flooded, or sad?
Does your child take on the emotional energy of those around them?
Do you wish your child could stay open-hearted without absorbing others’ pain?
Does your child feel things deeply, often at the expense of their sense of peace and ease?
Is your child easily overstimulated, needing plenty of time to reset and recharge?
Does your child pick up on other people’s moods, taking on their sadness and pain?

Join Susan Stiffelman, MFT, and Judith Orloff, MD to learn how to offer support to highly sensitive, empathic children.

We believe sensitive children will save the world. Dr. Orloff will share how she was shamed as a highly sensitive child and how she learned to embrace her gifts. This is why Dr. Orloff’s new children’s book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, is so important to her. The book tells the story of a caring cottontail named Aurora who comes into her power as a highly sensitive being.

We’ll explore how to help sensitive children set healthy boundaries, manage emotional overload, and feel good about who they are—even in a world that often tells them they’re “too sensitive.”

You’ll also be invited to reflect on your own early experiences with sensitivity and discover tools to show up as a calm, clear, and compassionate guide—for your child and for yourself.

If you’re ready to reframe sensitivity and empathy as strengths, raising a child who can lead with both tenderness and resilience, this class is for you.

This class includes:

What it means to be a highly sensitive or empathic child—and how to recognize those traits
The neuroscience behind sensitivity and why your child may feel or react more intensely
Gentle, effective tools for co-regulation, emotional support, and building resilience
How to replace “Don’t be so sensitive” with affirming, empowering language
Ways to help your child set healthy boundaries to avoid emotional overload
Techniques to support emotional recovery after school, social events, or overstimulation
Daily practices to ground and soothe your child—and yourself
Scripts and tools to help children advocate for their needs with confidence
