Welcome to my Intense Children Site!
I am the mom of three fantastic kids, each of them are unique but this site will focus on parenting my intense, emotional, spirited kids... my two youngest, who seem to be on an endless emotional roller coaster
Some people call children like mine "more". When they are sad, they are way more sad, when they are happy ... the word "happy" is an understatement! when they feel anger the world sees them as enraged and the bottom can drop out of their world in a split second. Others use terms like 'difficult', 'spirited', 'emotional', 'challenging', 'high maintenance' and of course, I hear a lot of "boy, they're a handful aren't they?".
To me, intense would be the word that gives the best picture. It is not only their intense emotions, They both approach life, and every activity with the intensity of a rocket scientist.
When I watch my children focus on learning something new with unwavering passion, facing their own challenges with fierce determination, the intense joy when they achieve their goals, it reminds me that they are also a gift and bring tremendous joy as well.
I know there are parents out there with similar challenges and while I don't profess to have the answers, I want to share information, parenting tips, anecdotes, successes and failures so that you will know there are other parents struggling with the same issues. Parenting intense children can be a challenge, but intense children are not all about challenges! My biggest challenge is looking past the chaos to find the greatness each one of them possess. They show me their gifts every day - I just need to remember to look!
