Embassy Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Does emotional intensity (overexcitabilities) typically get stronger during the teen years or does it happen sooner or not at all? What was/is it like for you?:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendag Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Good question. I'm hoping people say they didn't get worse. Mine is only 5. :tongue_smilie: Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 My kids seemed to peak out with these in their early teens. After that, it seemed like the kids are more intense than their peers, but have a better way to handle the intensity and get better about getting themselves under control when they get too worked up.

Thanks! Are they able to handle it better because of years of practice dealing with their intense feelings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackermom Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Cindy- What a great list! I just bookmarked your page, and I'm off to see if some of those titles are at my library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
