Md Ishaq Mohiuddin: Harnessing Sensitivity – Empowering HSP in the Workplace
About HSC
As a parent, it can be challenging to understand why your child reacts differently than others to certain situations. Doctor Elaine Aron is a psychologist and leading researcher who coined the terms Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and Highly Sensitive Child (HSC) and she has been researching high sensitivity since 1991. Doctor Aron defines HSC as a child who has all 4 of the following aspects and she uses the acronym DOES.
Depth of processing
This is the ability to deeply analyze everything.
Over-stimulated
This is when your child quickly gets overwhelmed by the world around them.
Emotional responsiveness & empathy
Your child feels everything deeply and reacts intensely to mistakes.
Sensitive to subtle stimuli
Your child picks up on minute things and aware of subtle sounds, smells, and details.
Approach
Hi, I’m Parastoo. I’ll help you set your HSC up to thrive in life.
Discover a coaching experience as unique as your child. Recognizing that every family is distinct and every highly sensitive child is unique, I steer clear of one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I dedicate time to understanding each client's individual journey, adapting my approach to meet you precisely where you are in your parenting journey.
I believe that my purpose in life is to help parents of highly sensitive children understand their child’s genetic personality trait, accept it and realize that the best thing they can do for their child is to accept this personality trait in them and help them see the beauty in it. I truly believe that if we start focusing on the strengths of this trait, we can set our children up to thrive in every aspect of their life.

I was struggling to parent my eight year old son who seemed moody, emotional and unhappy. Parastoo recognized his sensitive nature and guided my husband and I, through her knowledge and gentle advice, to understand my highly sensitive child. Our home is now more peaceful and my son feels safe, supported and understood. I couldn't be more grateful.

Before working with Parastoo, my wife and I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about how to support our highly sensitive daughter. The coaching sessions have been a game-changer. We've learned so much about sensitivity and how to nurture my child's unique gifts. Our home is now a place of understanding and acceptance, and I see my daughter thriving like never before. I can't thank Parastoo enough for the transformation!

As a parent of a highly sensitive child, I often found myself at a loss for how to handle certain situations. Parastoo’s coaching provided me with the insights and tools I needed to connect with my son on a deeper level. I've noticed significant positive changes in our family dynamics, and my son’s confidence has soared. This journey has been invaluable, and I'm so grateful for Parastoo's guidance, empathy, and vast knowledge.

I am a Mother of two girls, ages 8 and 6, and discovered Parastoo's podcast six months ago while searching for answers on how to best support my daughters' unique sensitivities. My oldest feels everything deeply, making school overwhelming, while my youngest is highly perceptive and easily overstimulated. My first consultation with Parastoo brought hope and clarity after months of struggles. Parastoo's genuine care, expertise, and practical solutions have been invaluable. She helped me understand my daughters in a much deeper way and showed me how changing my own attitude could dissolve many of our challenges. I highly recommend Parastoo to anyone seeking to support their highly sensitive children.
