Episode Summary:

DFKS, or Deep Feeling Kids, feel all of their emotions so intensely that it’s hard for them to articulate their feelings. Rather than confronting them about these feelings directly, you’re better off approaching them indirectly so that they can identify feelings and then learn to cope with them.

The best support is a rating and a share.

Love,
CK & GK
