Welcome back to Ask Ready or Not! It’s Ready or Not’s tip-based episode, landing in your ears every Friday.Today, Loz chats with psychologist, author and mum Jacquie Ward about raising sensitive kids -  the ones who feel things deeply, notice everything and can get overwhelmed by the big emotions that come with everyday life.Jacqui breaks down what sensitivity actually is (spoiler: it’s a biological trait, not a parenting style), how to handle meltdowns without making things worse, and why sensitive kids often grow into the most empathetic and creative adults.They also unpack the overlap between sensitivity and ADHD, how to support boys to express emotion, and why parents shouldn’t try to toughen up sensitive kids. Find Jacqui on Instagram at @jacquie_ward_ or visit https://www.jacquieward.com.au/ for her resources and book.— Thanks for listening!
