Do you have a strong-willed child who feels strongly about all the FEELS?

3 Ways to defuse the heightened emotion, to not walk on egg shells to create a happier family dynamic with Danielle Bettmann

Do you have a child who fiercely believes in something?
~ who feels the injustice in the world?
~ who needs validation to be heard and seen before life can go on?

We talk about:
1. Positives and Negatives, pros and cons of this personality
2. How to diffuse the heightened emotion.
3. How to make them feel seen and heard.
4. How to validate, rather than defend, when their emotions feel like an attack.

Maggie Perspecticles talks about the type of kid you should be most concerned about.
