At the Center for Family Love, we know first-hand that as a parent of a spirited or sensitive child who has been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, attachment disorder, post traumatic stress disorder or exhibits behaviors common to these, you experience a unique set of challenges. Some of the challenges may include:

• negative behavior
• emotional outbursts
• lack of cooperation
• excessive arguing
• lack of healthy connection
• attention issues
• impulsivity
• sensory integration
• hyperactivity
• high need to have your continuous attention
• emotional insecurity
• stress and anxiety
• learning difficulties
• your own feelings of self doubt, frustration and exhaustion
• fears your child may go down the wrong path

We want to help you dissolve the challenges you face.

Of course, you love your child and want the best for him or her. You are dedicated to your child’s growth and development on every level: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. You are also committed to grow through your parenting experience. The Center for Family Love recognizes and supports you.

We believe children that display symptoms of ADD/ADHD, ODD, PTSD, Sensory Integration Disorder and Attachment Disorder are not only dynamic and intense, they are sensitive and Spirited Souls™.

Wisdom specifically designed for parenting a Spirited Soul™.

Spirited and sensitive children are often ‘energy challenged.’ This means they need to learn how to handle and work with their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy in consistent and successful ways. Traditional parenting methods don’t typically teach these skills at all, much less in a holistic way. For this reason, you may have noticed traditional parenting methods often fail with intense children. With tools specifically designed for spirited children, these same children can flourish.

While it may not always be apparent, intensity is actually a gift. Intensity in the form of perseverance, conviction, strength, determination, sensitivity and passion can be incredible qualities when applied in a positive manner. The key is teaching your child how to channel his or her intensity and energy in positive ways. We can show you how. Doing so honors the unique wiring of your child. It also empowers both of you.

We believe the bond you share with your child is one of the most important ones in your lives. It will strengthen your child and carry through to all of his or her life experiences. The connection you share with your child can fill your heart with warmth and fulfillment. Imagine having new feelings of satisfaction, peace and awe when you look at your child and see the miracle that he or she truly is. This experience can be yours.

What is a Spirited Soul™?

A Spirited Soul™ is a term used to describe children (and adults) that tend to be naturally aware of and in tune with energy. They have heightened sensitivity to their own feelings and to the energy of other people and the world around them. Because of this, they can be easily overwhelmed by emotions and their environment. They can also have bigger reactions and more mood swings than ‘typical’ children. Spirited Souls™ have a strong sense of their power and likely march to the beat of their own drum. They may refuse to conform, especially to authority. If a Spirited Soul™ does become conditioned to conform, he or she can become a perfectionist or rule follower to the point of becoming anxiety-ridden. The Spirited Soul™ is lively, passionate and profound. They can be tenacious when it comes to something they want. Essentially, the Spirited Soul™ lives life at a higher awareness level of the energy in and around them. This makes them ideal candidates to experience life more fully and make a powerful, positive impact on the world. When the gifts of the Spirited Soul™ are understood and cultivated, exceptional results occur as they share their talents and abilities with others. When the Spirited Soul™ is acknowledged and loved for who he or she is, extraordinary and deeply fulfilling relationships can be experienced.
