20-- Are Meltdowns and Emotional Intensity Just a Phase or Will They Last Forever?
In today’s episode, we tackle a question that many parents of emotionally intense children ask themselves: Is this just a phase, or is this emotional intensity something we’ll have to navigate for the long haul?
We dive into how emotional intensity can fluctuate with age and developmental milestones, and how it might evolve into something that stays with your child through adolescence and adulthood. I’ll share tips on how you can help your child build emotional resilience, emotional intelligence, and a sense of calm, no matter what stage they’re in.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Emotional Intensity Might Be More Than a Phase: It could be something that sticks around longer than expected, but the good news? There’s a way to channel it for growth.
- Emotions Evolve with Age: As your child grows, their emotional expression may change, but some things may stay the same—just in different forms.
- What Else Plays a Role in Emotional Intensity?: Factors like your child’s personality, hormones, and mental health can influence how they experience and express big emotions.
- Intense Emotions Can Lead to Something Powerful: The key to turning big feelings into a valuable asset lies in one important skill that can grow over time.
- The Power of Early Support: It’s never too early to start helping your child build emotional resilience—and the benefits can last a lifetime.
