Relish their spirit; Support their coping.
Some kids seem to be born with their emotional volume set on high. They react to things that other kids might take in stride, and their emotional responses tend to be more intense, more frequent, and longer lasting than we might expect.
When they’re happy, they light up a room! But when they’re angry, sad, or scared…watch out!
At one level, this is a gift: These deeply-feeling kids are experiencing life to the fullest! But at another level, it can be wearing on them and everyone around them.
This workshop shows you how to help your child understand and manage negative feelings AND enjoy more positive feelings.
If you want to learn how YOU can coach your child to help them develop the skills they need to cope with their big feelings, get this course now.
If your child’s emotional reactions are creating conflict or tension in your family, sign up to learn how to give your child the guidance and support they need.
For your convenience, this workshop is divided into easy-to-manage sections (about 2- to 9-min. long). It's filled with useful ideas for helping your child that are realistic and don’t require you to be a perfect parent with nothing else going on in your life.

Obviously, webinars from Open Door for Parents are NOT psychotherapy. They're for educational purposes only about important topics facing families. The ideas mentioned may or may not be relevant for your particular situation.
I trust you to use your judgment about what makes sense for your child and your family and to consult your physician or a mental health provider, if needed, about very serious or complicated situations.
