    Being a parent is hard. And being a parent of a child with big, intense emotions adds a layer of difficulty that can have even the most seasoned parents scratching their heads and fighting back tears.

We see you, and this episode is here to help.

    Neither of us is a licensed therapist, but we are parents of kids with intense emotions, or as Dr. Becky Kennedy calls them, Deep Feeling Kids. This week, we share Dr. Becky’s insights to help you determine if your child is a DFK. Then, we explain her proven strategy to help these kids identify their emotions so they can 1) work through them, and 2) build emotional resilience.

    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.

    Have you heard these myths about self-love & weight loss?

    You can only love yourself once you've reached a certain weight.Self-love means you shouldn't want to lose weight.Wanting to lose weight means you don't love yourself.

    I think self-love is all about the way that we talk to ourselves, first and foremost, because you could take all the bubble baths, you can get all the massages, you can do all the things, but if you're beating the crap out of yourself inside your mind, it's fake, it's not real. It's a band-aid.—Laura Conley
