A Cuppa Momsense
Sometimes it feels like our highly sensitive kids have such a hard time with things that other kids handle easily. The tears last longer, the setbacks hit harder, and you can’t help but wonder: If it’s this tough now, how will they ever handle the bigger stuff life throws at them later?
This week, we’re talking about emotional resilience—why it matters, why patience is key, and what we can actually do as moms to help our kids grow these skills little by little.

Building Emotional Resilience in Highly Sensitive Children
We all want our kids to handle life’s ups and downs with strength. But when you’re raising a highly sensitive child, it can sometimes feel like they just don’t bounce back as quickly as other kids. Every disappointment feels bigger, every frustration lasts longer, and every setback seems to hit harder. And that leaves us wondering: if it’s this tough now, what happens when they’re older and life gets even more complicated?
The Worry We Carry
As moms, we can spiral into fear: What if I’m not giving them the tools they need? What if they never learn to cope? That worry is so real, because we know resilience matters. But resilience isn’t something your child either has or doesn’t. It’s a skill. And like any skill, it takes time, practice, and guidance to develop.
Why Patience Is Everything
Your child will develop resilience, it just won’t look like an overnight transformation. And that’s okay. Parenting isn’t about raising children who already know how to handle everything; it’s about walking alongside them as they figure it out.
Your Role in the Process
That being said, there are ways you can guide and support your child as they grow to develop emotional resilience. As parents, we can model calm, teach coping tools, and create safe spaces for them to recover and try again.
In this week’s blog post, we’ll show you practical ways to do exactly that so you can nurture resilience without pressure or guilt, one step at a time.

What We Just Binged
I’ve been on a total crime drama kick lately, and Mare of Easttown did not disappoint. Fair warning: the first episode is slow burn but don’t give up. By episode two, you’re hooked. Episode one does the heavy lifting of setting up the small-town web of relationships, so when things start unraveling, you really feel the stakes.
What I loved most? It keeps you guessing without throwing in twists just for shock value. It’s layered, gritty, and one of those shows you want to binge straight through. Definitely one to save until after the kids are asleep.
