Dr. Alison Bell has been completing a PhD research project focused on supporting parents of gifted and bright children—particularly around emotional intensity, big feelings, and big inner worlds.⁠

This February, she’s sharing what came out of that work in a free, 1-hour live webinar.⁠

This session offers a look at what parents found most helpful, what shifted in their understanding and confidence, and how gifted children’s emotional intensity can be supported in more attuned, compassionate ways. Alison will also introduce the workshop model that emerged from the research and share practical strategies parents can begin using right away.⁠

Whether you’re a parent wanting support, or a professional wanting a deeper understanding of gifted-specific emotional needs, you’re warmly invited to join.⁠

🗓 Wednesday, February 11⁠
⏰ 6:30–7:30 PM PST⁠
💻 Live via Zoom⁠
🎟 Free to attend⁠

Dysregulation doesn’t announce itself clearly. When a child’s nervous system is overwhelmed, behaviour becomes communication.⁠

Recognizing when connection and regulation need to come before correction because kids do better when they feel safer.⁠

Eating disorders are complex, deeply rooted experiences that deserve compassion, nuance, and care.⁠

If this month brings anything up for you, know that support exists and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

01/30/2026

Eating disorders aren’t always about food, weight, or appearance - they’re often about regulation, control, safety, and how the nervous system has learned to cope.⁠

Awareness doesn’t mean pointing out behaviours or offering advice. It means listening, reducing shame, and remembering that every person’s experience is different.⁠

If this conversation feels close to home, please know support is available - and you’re not alone in this.

Teens are not mini-adults. Their prefrontal cortex is still under construction, which means mistakes are part of the developmental process.⁠

When we replace “they should know better” with “they’re still learning,” everything shifts - for them and for us.⁠

Many neurodivergent kids thrive on routine, but still shut down when demands pile up. The goal isn’t strict structure, it’s balanced structure.⁠

Flexibility gives them room to breathe; predictability gives them room to succeed.⁠

Parenting a superfeeler requires capacity, patience, and emotional bandwidth. It’s okay if you’re tired. It’s okay if you need breaks.⁠

Your child’s sensitivity isn’t your failure and your exhaustion isn’t either. You’re learning this together.⁠

Superfeelers absorb the world deeply. Winter can amplify that... emotions feel heavier, transitions feel sharper, and rest feels harder to access.⁠

Meeting them with understanding instead of urgency supports their regulation more than you realize.⁠

Eating struggles often begin when kids feel powerless, stressed, or overstimulated. Food can become a coping strategy, a way to create predictability when emotions feel chaotic.⁠

Understanding how best to support your child to ensure their health and well-being is the first step.⁠
