My Sensitive baby

Raising Hazel is a challenge , she comes with the usual package . Like all children, she has her tantrums , anger, stubborn ...in short , just another three year old. Plus , extra sensitive . 

She is a highly sensitive child. Time-outs or other disciplining simply overwhelms her. She can't stand the idea of rejection. Handling her is so much tougher than my first-born. Her rules are simple , No scolding her , no complaining about her to Grandma/ Dad , strictly no teasing allowed. Sometimes, I avoid correcting her because I can't handle another melt down and can't calm her down after a potential situation. I know I am wrong . 

I try these quick tricks with her, when am not worn out. 

1. I say 'My Hazel would never do this' 

This is powerful , works like a charm.

2. I take her to the room / bath and give her some Gyaan on the whole episode. It's a lecture that I give her , but this trick doesn't work at all times . I've had to bring her back kicking and screaming several times . 

3. Finally , there is one more quick trick . Let he dad handle . I would simply ask her Dad to handle her , which he would generally refuse it its on invitation. So, it's strictly , dump the kid on him and run !! Thats a trick that works consistently.
