About this listen

Have you ever spent a whole day pouring into your sensitive child, only for them to fall apart the moment you walk through the door? It stings — and it’s easy to think, “Why does this feel so ungrateful?” In this episode, I’m unpacking what’s really behind those big emotions, and why they’re not actually about gratitude at all.

We’ll look at why sensitive kids often melt down after something positive, why it can come across as entitlement, and how emotional overload plays a much bigger role than we realize. Once you understand what’s happening underneath, those confusing reactions finally start to click.

You’ll also learn how gratitude develops differently in sensitive kids, plus simple, gentle ways to nurture real appreciation without forcing it or taking their overwhelm personally. Because even when their feelings spill over, their gratitude is still there — it just needs space to show up.
