#008 Tough Dads and Sensitive Kids

Emily Roper Season 1 Episode 8

This episode is all about the relationship between tough dads and sensitive kids. I work with a lot of highly sensitive and emotionally immature children. Parenting these kids can be particularly difficult for dads with more traditional, masculine personalities.  This relationship can also be tough for moms who feel caught in the middle of the dad/child relationship. This episode looks at some of the struggles and benefits of this relationship dynamic.

If you and your spouse need help figuring out how to parent a sensitive child I highly recommend these resources:

Dr. Psych Mom is my next recommendation. She has an entire network of parenting coaches and therapists that work in a lot of different states. She also has a huge stock of blog posts and podcast episode on a wide range of topics.
