LEVEL UP YOUR TRAINING

What is a Sensitive Family?

A family where one or more members are highly sensitive (also known as “sensory processing sensitivity”). These individuals are empathetic, intuitive, emotionally aware, creative, thoughtful, observant and have a strong sense of morality. However, because they process external and internal stimuli more deeply, they can quickly become easily overstimulated and overwhelmed. As this is a temperament trait, both children and adults can be highly sensitive. It is also hereditary, meaning that if a child is highly sensitive there is a good chance one of both of their parents are as well.

A highly sensitive child:

  • Is easily upset by loud noises, bright lights or strong smells

  • Transitions (like bedtime, mealtime or getting ready for school) take longer than reasonably expected

  • Can quickly pick up on other people’s moods

  • Feeling rushed or changes in their routine can trigger anxiety or meltdowns

  • Can notice details others miss

  • Is imaginative and highly creative

  • Has strong preferences when it comes to texture, food or clothing

  • May struggle with eating due to aversions, texture, smells and temperature

  • May struggle with sleep, leading to a hard time falling and staying asleep as well – often not responding to traditional behavioral sleep training methods

Why Parents of Sensitive Children Benefit from Specialized Support

Parents of sensitive children will often feel everything alongside of the child, if they are sensitive themselves- even more so. As rewarding as it is to raise sensitive children, it can leave parents feeling exhausted and overwhelmed themselves. This often results from being advised to use strategies that do not honor sensitive nervous systems or the experience of the parent.

With specialized support geared toward highly sensitive children, the parent can understand their child’s nervous system and its role in behavior as well as learn tools that help make sustainable change.

What is sustainable change?

Sustainable change means making changes that are easy to support in the long term without force or constant effort. If changes require the parent to work outside of their parenting philosophy, go against their instincts or require a rigid inflexible set of rules it is very often not sustainable in the long term. The goal is to be able to keep the response approach the same on hard days as well as easier days, without a constant escalation of stress for the parent or the child. When parents are provided with solutions that fit their family, it becomes woven into their daily life and a part of who they are. At Quiet Moments Wellness, our approach is designed to provide parents with support that works with the sensitive child and that they can continue to benfit.

    There is a significant gap between infant/toddler sleep and teen/adult sleep, and Tamara has profoundly filled this gap. The "School Age Sleep, Without Sleep Training Specialization Course" is incredibly comprehensive and addresses issues that concern families with kids aged 6-12 years. Tamara generously shares her insights and supports you every step of the way. My practice has been greatly enriched thanks to this course. Natasha G.

  • What Our Clients Say

    I recently took Tamara's course on sleep for school-aged children (6-12 years), and I couldn't be more impressed and happy. The information was incredibly clear and well-explained, making it easy to understand even complex topics. The course covers a wide range of subjects that impact children's sleep, from routines to emotional well-being, making it truly comprehensive. Tamara is a fantastic explainer—she breaks down everything in a way that feels both informative and accessible. If you're looking for an all-encompassing course to understand more about school-aged children and help them sleep better, this is it! Dalia V.R

  • What Our Clients Say

    “I began working with Tamara when I was 32 weeks pregnant with my second child. Our almost 2 year old had been waking at 4-5am ready to start the day for as long as I could remember, and I was exhausted and scared of adding a newborn to the mix. It was also taking over an hour for our son to fall asleep at bedtime After talking to Tamara, I immediately felt understood and supported. It was the biggest relief when she said, “Don’t worry, I can fix this!”. And she did! After a few weeks of working together, our son was sleeping 10-10.5 hours without waking throughout the night and it took 5 minutes for him to fall asleep in his crib Tamara knows her stuff. She is extremely knowledgeable and looks at sleep from every angle. Her approach is holistic and tailored to your individual child and family. Most importantly (to me), Tamara truly respects and honours the parent attachment relationship. She is kind, easy to work with and patient (I always have tons of questions!) We are working with Tamara again, this time for help with our 6 month old. Tamara will always be my go-to sleep guru and a part of my “village”. Highly recommend her services, there is no one better” Stefanie A.

  • What Our Clients Say

    I can't recommend Tamara from Quiet Moments highly enough! From the very first consultation, she took the time to truly understand my health concerns and get to the root of the issues I had been struggling with for so long. Her ability to explain the connection between my current diet and so many “issues” and symptoms I have been dealing with was both eye-opening and empowering. Through her expert guidance and personalized recommendations, she created a plan of both diet changes and supplements that was easy to follow and tailored to my specific needs. Since making the changes she suggested, I’ve experienced transformative improvements. My sleep has become more restful, my mood is more balanced, and I finally have the energy to get through my day without feeling drained. Tamara’s support and encouragement throughout the process made all the difference, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact she’s had on my life. If you're looking for someone who is truly passionate about helping others achieve their health goals, Tamara is the one to call. Her knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. Thank you. Olivia A.

    “Working with Tamara was fantastic! I was at my wits end with my daughter’s sleep challenges. She was tired all the time and not having quality naps. Through working with Tamara, my daughter is meeting her milestones, falling asleep quicker, sleeping in her crib, and is having restful, quality sleep every day. The individualized plans are detailed and easy to follow and the support that I have received from Tamara during this process has been wonderful. Thank you so much Tamara!” Laura W.
