Do I Have a DFK?

Do your kid’s tantrums seem more intense than other kids their age? Do they come on fast and last much longer? No, you’re not imagining it. And no, there’s nothing wrong with your kid. Your kid might be a Deeply Feeling Kid. And these kids will learn how to regulate their emotions, they just need a different approach. Today, Dr. Becky gives you the tools you need to assess if your kid might be a Deeply Feeling Kid.

Join Dr. Becky for a special live DFK workshop on February 11, 2026; details at https://www.goodinside.com/lp/dfk/deeply-feeling-kids-live-workshop/
