Season 2 Episode 17 The Lafaya Way: Caring for Your Very Sensitive Person (Part 1)

SISU Journey

In this episode of the SISU Journey podcast, Lafaya Mitchell talks about how to care for the very sensitive person in your life. If children’s behaviors cause them to be disliked, then you have to understand that there’s something behind it. What approach can you take when navigating around kids or people who may be hypersensitive? Stay tuned!

Here are the things to expect in this episode:

• Being thrown into adulthood at a very young age.
• Lafaya’s persistence to make things work so her child doesn’t grow up as she did.
• Being introduced to Autism Spectrum Disorder and writing a book about her experiences with kids who have it.
• What is the Lafaya Way? What are the four steps to the Lafaya Way?
• Building a curriculum for parents to help support children and families who might need it.
• And much more!

This is episode 1 of 2. Episode 2 will be released this coming Tuesday, October 5th.
