Is Your Child Overly Sensitive? What You Need To Know

Why are kids so sensitive today, and are we actually helping them by protecting them from every difficult experience? In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie discuss why so many children struggle with stress, failure, disappointment, and emotional regulation, and what parents can do to help their kids become more resilient. They break down how stress and overstimulation can impact children from an early age, why constantly coddling kids may make it harder for them to handle adversity, and why parents need to be leaders, teachers, and a safe place for their children rather than simply trying to be their best friend. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie also talk about the importance of allowing children to lose, fail, experience disappointment, and work through difficult emotions. From sports and friendships to relationships and loss, learning how to process hard experiences while they're young can give kids the tools they need to navigate bigger challenges later in life. If you're a parent who wants to raise strong, confident, resilient kids who can handle the pressures of the real world while still knowing they have a safe place to come home to, this episode is for you.
