People who have big feelings have many strengths. They understand other people really well and often have very strong, meaningful relationships. But there are also potential downsides to having big emotions, like having a hard time making decisions, feeling different from friends and family members, and feeling bad about themselves. Fortunately, there is something that we can do as parents to help our kids with these struggles, while strengthening their resilience and self-esteem.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What it was like for me growing up as a highly sensitive person in a family that didn't feel things as strongly

• Two common side effects of having big feelings

• What we can do to help our kids handle their discomfort in healthy ways and build their confidence rather than eroding it
