Child‑Led Play & Family Support with Yukia Sandara

Honouring gifted and sensitive children through connection and understanding

A gentle, play‑based approach for neurodivergent, gifted, and sensitive children and the adults who care for them.

A Place Where Children Are Met, Not Measured

Some children experience the world with unusual depth, sensitivity, imagination, or intensity.

They notice more. They feel more. They often struggle to fit into systems that were not designed with them in mind.

If you are here, you may be a parent, grandparent, or educator caring for a child like this and wondering how to support them without trying to change who they are.

This space exists for you.

Who This Support Is For

This work is for families and educators who:

Sense a child's depth and want to protect it
Value connection over correction
Feel unsure that traditional approaches truly fit
Are open to slowing down and listening differently
Want guidance that is compassionate, grounded, and practical

You do not need to have the right words. You only need care and curiosity.

If You Are Here, You Are Probably Carrying a Lot

You may love a child who experiences the world differently and feel:

Unsure how to support a gifted or sensitive neurodivergent child
Concerned that school or social settings feel overwhelming
Protective of a child's sensitivity, creativity, or intensity
Tired of approaches that focus on fixing rather than understanding

You might notice that:

Big emotions arrive suddenly
Your child shuts down or becomes overwhelmed
Transitions and change feel especially hard
Connection at home feels strained at times
Advice you have tried does not quite fit
You Are Not Alone

These moments can leave adults feeling worried or helpless, even when love is strong. This does not mean you are failing. And it does not mean there is something wrong with your child. Often, it simply means the child needs to be met differently.

An Invitation

If something here feels familiar or comforting, trust that. You do not need certainty. Only curiosity, care, and a willingness to listen to your child and yourself. I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
