Have you ever wondered why punishment and crisis response alone fail to keep children safe?
In this episode of The Sensitivity Doctor, Dr. Amelia Kelley is joined by Scarlett Lewis, the mother of six-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. Scarlett shares how the message her son left behind, “nurturing, healing, love,” became the foundation of a global trauma-informed movement focused on prevention, nervous system regulation, and relational healing.
Grounded in neuroscience and lived experience, this conversation explores how invisibility, hopelessness, and chronic nervous system threat contribute to violence and distress, and how trauma-informed education can support sensitive and neurodivergent children before crisis occurs.
