50: What Does it Mean When My Kid Says They Need a Break from Me?

In this episode I discuss why your kid has flipped a switch on you. You always think you’ve finally figured out what triggers a meltdown… until the sun rises again and a new issue comes with it. It’s hard being a parent, we know this. But it can almost feel like your kid is just being dramatic, or doing this on purpose to get attention. If these are thoughts YOU’VE had, you’re not alone. And you’re not a bad parent either. As an expert on the Highly Sensitive trait, I can tell you straight up that your kid is NOT doing this on purpose. Children cannot manipulate their parents. They don’t have the internal hardwiring in their brains to do so. So, why does your kid HATE places and events they used to love? Why do they throw a fit now or totally refuse, when they used to go willingly?
