The Child Who Feels Everything

Supporting highly sensitive, strong-willed children without losing connection.

“Some children experience the world more intensely. This is not a fix-your-child situation. It is simply a different kind of child, and they need a different kind of support.”

Kristin Mariella

Is your child described as

  • “too much”
  • “too sensitive”
  • “dramatic”
  • “defiant”
  • “impossible to parent”

And do the usual tools (validating feelings, giving options, natural consequences) seem to make things worse rather than better?

In 90 minutes we’ll cover

  1. What is really happening underneath meltdowns and aggressive outbursts
  2. Why some children skip sadness and go straight to anger
  3. What to do when your child pushes you away or shuts down
  4. How to respond when emotions become physical
  5. What to say and not say in intense moments
  6. How to respond to all-or-nothing thinking
  7. Why your child has a hard time saying sorry
  8. How to regulate yourself when triggered by your child’s intensity
  9. What “holding space” actually looks like

Hi, I’m Kristin. I’m the mother of a highly sensitive, strong-willed boy, and I’ve researched this for over five years. The group is kept small on purpose, because parents often feel so alone in this experience. More about me →
