Why You Don’t Need Lectures or Consequences to Teach Your Sensitive Child Not to Hit, Kick, or Say Unkind Things

Raised Resilient: Help Your Highly Sensitive Child - A podcast by Dr. Hilary Mandzik - Psychologist

We’ve all been there—when our kids hit, kick, or say something unkind, the instinct is to lecture or give consequences. It feels like the only way to teach them a lesson, right? But what if that approach is actually reinforcing shame and leading to more negative behavior? In this episode, I explore why traditional discipline techniques don’t work for sensitive kids and can actually backfire. Instead of lecturing or punishing, I share a different way to help our children process their emotions and learn without feeling guilt or shame. If you’ve ever struggled with how to handle these tough moments, this episode will give you practical insights and tools to better support your child’s emotional growth.
