Jamie Kirkbride returns to Speaking Life Into Motherhood to share invaluable wisdom for Christian mothers raising highly sensitive, emotionally intense, or behaviorally challenging children.

In this heart-to-heart conversation, Jamie (a licensed counselor, parenting coach, and mother of SEVEN!) reveals:

• How to identify what your child TRULY needs during emotional moments
• Practical strategies for advocating for your child with teachers and family members
• The surprising power of the "simple pause" when things escalate

As a mother raising children with special needs, I've personally benefited from Jamie's wisdom and practical tools. Her insights have already begun transforming our family dynamics!

📖 This Week's Devotional: Strength in Weakness

Reflection

Just as God sees Hagar in her distress, He sees you in your parenting journey. When you feel exhausted from trying strategies that don't work, when you struggle to understand your child's emotional needs, when you feel alone in advocating for your uniquely wired child - God sees you.

And what our children need most is to be seen, understood, and accepted exactly as they are.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to see my child through Your eyes today. Give me the wisdom to understand their unique wiring, the patience to pause before responding, and the courage to advocate for their needs. Guide me to build calm, confident connections that reflect Your unconditional love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
