Understanding Deeply Feeling Children

Deeply feeling children often experience emotions intensely, which can lead to significant reactions and behaviors. This emotional depth can create challenges, especially in sibling dynamics, as these children may struggle to express their feelings in constructive ways. Jealousy and competition can arise when siblings excel in areas that a deeply feeling child finds challenging, leading to unkind interactions. Parents play a crucial role in helping these children navigate their emotions and reactions, promoting understanding rather than punishment for their feelings.
