My highly gifted dd who is nearly 7 is extremely sensitive and is very emotionally intense. It's exhausting and I'm trying so hard to keep my cool with her but it's hard.
I have had talks with her about it and have tried to explain to her that it's okay to have these feelings but that she can't yell, scream, etc at others. I have even given her a code word to use when she is on the brink of losing it. The problem is her emotions are so intense in the moment it's like she can't even remember these suggestions. Communicating with her when she is this upset is very hard. I understand her feelings, I tell her this but I am getting so tired of the constant reminding of "use your words and tell ______ how you feel."
Any ideas/help?
