In this blog, Play Therapist, Licensed Therapist and Mom, Rebekah Springs, shares her thoughts, stories, teachings and tips & tricks for parents of highly sensitive, differently-wired, and brilliant kids to reference during difficult times, stressful days and moments when you feel completely alone and at the end of your rope.
