Parenting the Intensity
Updated Apr 6, 2026
Hey, I’m Anouk Briere-Godbout, and here on "Parenting the Intensity" we’ll talk all about how we can drop the “general parenting advice” that doesn't work with our intensely emotional kids anyway and let go of the unrealistic expectations society puts on us as parents. Together we'll find solutions and ideas that work for YOU and YOUR kids. Chances are you know what they need, but you need a little inspiration to keep going and permission to do things differently and help you fully trust that you already are a wonderful parent to your exceptional, but challenging, kids.Each week on “Parenting the Intensity” you’ll get some thought provoking and comforting exchanges and reflections on mainstream parenting so you can put things into perspective, redefine what parenting means to YOU and YOUR kids and finally enjoy your family life without constant fear of the next outburst.Take a deep breath, keep going, we’re all in this together!
