Temperament and highly sensitive kids with psychologist, Jacquie
Monday, 17 November, 2025
In this episode, we chat with Jacquie Ward - psychologist, author and mum to three. Jacquie speaks about temperament in our kids, with a focus on supporting highly sensitive kids (and highly sensitive parents!). We chat:What temperament is and why temperament differences exist in humans The difference between neurodivergence and temperamentHigh sensitivity as a temperament type, considering strengths and challenges, and how to spot this in your kidsHow high sensitivity can impact sleep and socialising in your kidsPractical tips to support yourself as a parent if you're parenting a more sensitive kiddo or perhaps highly sensitive yourself Temperament and high sensitivity is a piece of the puzzle that is sometimes overlooked so we hope this helps any parent out there navigating this. Highly sensitive kids have such beautiful insights, awareness and emotional depth and this temperament can also come with increased overwhelm, meltdowns and transition changes - as Jacquie shares, understanding our kids better is the first step in supporting them ❤️---You can join our Growing community on instagram @growingupraisinguspodcast to see photos of our weekly guests, behind the scenes moments, and keep up to date with episode releases.This podcast was recorded on the unceded lands of the Taungurung, Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung/Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation.
