Big Reactors

As someone who has struggled with managing my own big emotions, I found 'Big Reactors' to be a lifeline for understanding my highly sensitive child. Susannah Mars's narration is what truly made the audiobook shine; her gentle, understanding tone made me feel like I had a compassionate guide walking alongside me. Lerner's advice on validating emotions and teaching emotional regulation was incredibly helpful, and I especially appreciated the practical tips on managing meltdowns and building resilience. However, I did wish for more in-depth exploration of external factors, such as environmental influences and societal pressures, that can exacerbate sensitivity in children. Regardless, 'Big Reactors' is a must-listen for any parent looking to better understand and support their highly sensitive child.
