Parenting the Big-Feeling Child

 

 

A Nervous-System Based Group for Parents of Emotionally Intense Kids & Teens

 

Parenting a child whose emotions “fill the whole room” is a unique kind of exhausting.

You love them deeply — but the meltdowns, shutdowns, emotional spirals, and unpredictable reactions can leave you feeling drained, confused, and alone.

 

This group is a supportive, research-based space to help you understand your child’s nervous system, strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and rebuild emotional safety in your home.

 

 

This Group Is For You If…

You’re raising a child or teen who:

• feels emotions big and fast

• shuts down or pulls away after conflict

• seems “oppositional” but is actually overwhelmed

• cycles through shame, fear, or dysregulation

• struggles with transitions, boundaries, or repair

• absorbs everyone else’s emotions

 

And you want to feel more confident, grounded, regulated, and prepared.

 

What You’ll Learn

This 8 module program blends neuroscience, attachment, nervous-system regulation, and connection-based parenting.

Each week focuses on a core skill you can bring directly into your home.

 

 

Module Highlights:

 

1. Understanding Your Big-Feeling Child.  Why emotional intensity isn’t defiance — and why your child’s reactions make so much sense through a nervous-system lens.

2. Walking on Eggshells.  How unpredictability impacts your nervous system, and what to do about the bracing-burnout cycle.

3. Rupture, Repair & Emotional Distance. Understanding shame spirals, shutdowns, and why the aftermath often hurts more than the moment itself.

4. Reflective Repair Conversations. Scripts, timing, and communication strategies that create safety instead of reactivity.

5. Boundaries That Don’t Break Connection.  The “Firm + Warm” approach and how to set limits without escalating fear or shutdown.

6. When Your Child’s Emotions Become Yours.  Emotional differentiation, over-functioning, and staying anchored when everything feels big.

7. Rebuilding Your Anchor as a Parent. Burnout recovery, identity rebuilding, and nervous-system routines for long-term stability.

8. What Progress Really Looks Like.  Recognizing subtle wins, non-linear growth, emotional maturity markers, and realistic expectations.
