At times, your children's sensitivity triggers bullying or you might hear them say phrases like “I hate my life” or “I feel lost in this crazy world.” We'll help you manage their identified concern.
- They might not respond well to behavior therapy or counseling.
- They might be mislabeled as ADD, OCD, ADHD or being “on the spectrum.”
- They might experience sleeplessness or find it difficult to fall asleep.
- They might binge-eat or starve themselves to suppress their natural sensitivity.
- They might be strongly attached to video games to distract themselves.
However, in most situations these symptoms are a strong cry for help and might cover up deeper innate desires:
- Exploring what they are really good at and like to do.
- Finding meaningful challenges to engage their curiosity.
- Feeling more comfortable in their skin.
- Experiencing more confidence about their future and how they relate to others.
Our specific format of family coaching includes you as a parent: Together we might discover new character traits or hidden brilliance in your child that open a bigger and more compelling perspective for their future. Our coaching sessions become "team meetings" between you, your son or daughter and our coach working together for the best possible outcome that your family wants.
At times whole family coaching serves as a prevention program for behavior challenges and improves family relationships:
- Your child will be curious again and smile more frequently
- Your child will be more excited about learning
- They will minimize the impact of ADHD or social isolation
- Together we will develop a fresh perspective on learning and behavior differences
- Families will laugh more, enjoy each other with a greater sense of fulfillment and will again experience the joys of family life.
FAQ About Family Coaching:
1. What is special about Genius Coaching?
We deeply care about bringing out the unique best in your child as a foundation for a joyful life. We use a proven and powerful combination of play and professional coaching tools to activate imagination, creativity and intuition. This energizing experience makes it possible to replace undesired habits with more successful behavior. We invite at least one parent to actively participate in the coaching experience and make positive behavior change much more likely and permanent.
2. What is the difference between coaching and counseling?
Counseling has a unique role when dealing with past trauma or unresolved challenges. Coaching focuses on the present as foundation and opportunity to create a bright and compelling future.

Genius Coaching can be an early intervention tackling behavior issues before they turn into engrained habits.

Family Coaching for Parents of Gifted and Sensitive Children
Raising a gifted or sensitive child can feel like decoding a beautiful mystery.
Our family coaching helps you understand your child’s unique wiring—how they think, feel, and experience the world—while also deepening your own self-awareness as a parent.
When you shift from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What makes you shine?” everything changes.
Even with different parenting styles, you’ll learn how to nurture their brilliance, regulate emotional intensity, and create a home where your child feels safe, seen, and inspired to grow.
Because when gifted and sensitive children feel understood, their natural love of learning—and life—flourishes.

When Sensitivity Feels Like a Struggle
Sometimes, your child’s sensitivity leads to bullying—or heartbreaking statements like:
“I hate my life.”
“I feel lost in this crazy world.”
How ready are you to gain a fresh perspective on their struggle—and uncover the brilliance behind their behavior?
Common Signs That Something Deeper Is Going On
- Traditional counseling or behavior therapy doesn’t seem to work
- Your child has been labeled ADD, ADHD, OCD, or “on the spectrum” without clarity
- They struggle with sleep—either restless or can’t fall asleep at all
- Food becomes a coping mechanism: binge eating or avoiding food entirely
- They seem “addicted” to video games to escape reality
These are not the root problems—they're signals. Most often, these behaviors are cries for help, covering deeper needs like:
- Discovering what they’re truly good at—and love to do
- Finding real challenges that spark their natural curiosity
- Feeling safe and comfortable in their own skin
- Breaking free from boredom and low energy
- Feeling hopeful about the future and confident in social relationships

- Your child becomes curious again, and smiles more
