PARENTING THE HIGHLY SENSITIVE "ORCHID" CHILD

“I have many different varieties of orchids in my own household. From the very rare and exotic 100% highly-sensitive orchid child to children who are more dandelion-like, but have a few high sensitivities in certain areas of their life.”   This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, I am going to talk about a topic that is very near and dear to my heart which is parenting the highly sensitive child. Known in the field of Psychology as orchid children, they compose 15 - 20% of the entire child population.    Throughout the episode, I will share with you examples as I attempt to illustrate a little bit more about what they look like and how to parent these orchid children in the most effective way possible.    I hope that you will find the tips in this episode most helpful as you continue your parenting journey.   If you have enjoyed this episode of the podcast, take a screenshot, head on over to Instagram and share it your IG stories and tag me, @the3Dparent  Do you have a parenting question for an upcoming episode?  I would LOVE to connect with you and answer your questions.  Please share your parenting question here!  Grab your free copy of the 10 Steps To Get Back in Control of Your Children here!    EPISODE RESOURCES:  The Orchid and the Dandelion by W.
