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 curiosity and natural love of learning flourish.

Family Coaching That Includes You


Our unique approach to family coaching includes at least one parent in the process.


 We turn coaching into a collaborative journey—a team effort between your child, you, and our certified coach. Together, we uncover hidden strengths, dormant character traits, and a bigger vision for your child's future.


Coaching parent and child together creates real change:

  • Your child becomes curious again and smiles more frequently
  • They grow excited about learning and new experiences
  • ADHD and social isolation lose their grip
  • A new, empowering perspective replaces frustration
  • Families laugh more, reconnect more deeply, and rediscover joy in everyday life

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 unusual 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 meaningful 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.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • 1. What makes Genius Coaching different?

    We focus on bringing out your child’s unique best, instead of "fixing what’s wrong. Using a dynamic mix of play and professional coaching tools, we activate imagination, creativity, and emotional intelligence. One parent is always involved, serving as a supportive coach at home, so changes are reinforced naturally and last in the long term. Most kids look forward to their sessions!

  • 2. How is coaching different from counseling?

    Counseling addresses emotional healing from past traumatic experiences. Coaching focuses on the present and future. It’s action-oriented, collaborative, and practical - ideal for addressing behavioral and motivational challenges before they become long-term habits.

  • 3. How do we get started?

    Schedule a complimentary phone or Zoom call. Share your story, and we’ll explore whether Genius Coaching is the right fit for you.

  • 4. Is Genius Coaching covered by insurance or ESA?

    We don’t work with insurance providers. However, Arizona families can use ESA (Empowerment Scholarship Account) funds to cover coaching fees through the Department of Education.

  • 5. How long does a coaching program last?

    After a personalized Genius Evaluation, we recommend one of four coaching programs. Each includes weekly 45-minute individual coaching sessions (typically 8–15 sessions total), along with ongoing support between sessions via text or email.
