Sensitive & Intense Kids Course

The Sensitive and Intense Kids Course is a 7-week series to equip parents to handle difficult behavior in their children. Each class is approximately 2 hours long and welcomes co-ed couples, single parents, and grandparents. The course is taught by Lynn Jackson and Lydia Rex from Connection Families Ministries, creators of the popular video series and book Discipline that Connects with Your Child’s Heart.

Sensitive and Intense Kids

Parenting is hard. Parenting a child who is ‘sensitive’ or ‘intense’ is even harder! You don’t have to go through this alone.

Have you ever asked yourself…

Why does my child have such big outbursts?
Why does life seem harder for this child?
Why is my child so sensitive?
Why do I end up in so many power struggles with this child?

If you have, you are in the right place.

We’ve worked with countless parents who have said (or thought) statements about their sensitive kids, such as…

“I am at my wits’ end! I don’t understand why my child is acting this way!”
“Daily life feels chaotic and unpredictable.”
“I know that how I react isn’t helping! But I don’t know what to do.”
“This child is disrupting the whole family.”
“I have such negative feelings towards this child, and I feel awful about that.”
“If we don’t get this figured out now, I am worried about my child’s future.”

Sometimes, parenting one particular child presents extra challenges. As our most comprehensive course ever, this 7-session course will give you compelling information that will transform how you see your sensitive and intense kids. You will feel equipped to care for your child by approaching their challenges through the lens of their nervous system and not just from a behavioral standpoint.

When you meet the sensory needs of your child, it enables you to focus on forming deep bonds of connection instead of just constantly managing conflict. Parenting a sensitive and intense child is actually an amazing gift when we see their potential and build their identity around God’s grace and truth in their lives.

As a mom of three intense kids, she has lived it.
As a research enthusiast, she leans into brain science and research.

Who is Lynne Jackson?

Lydia Rex, a Registered Nurse, Parent Coach, & TBRI Practitioner, joined Lynne in creating this course. She brings compassion and trauma-sensitive insights from her personal and professional experience with foster care and adoption. Most importantly, she’s the mom of two young kids—and is herself on the same journey of hope and healing to which we are inviting you!

Who Is Lydia Rex?

Jennifer Bryant will facilitate discussion time for this course. Jenn has served at One Love Ministries for over 16 years and specializes in education and parent support. Jenn has trained and worked in the California and Hawaii public schools, private Christian education, early childhood education, and is currently a homeschooling mom of teenagers. Jenn founded PracticalFamily.org in 2016 and is passionate about helping parents work through the struggles of parenting and grow in love and understanding for their kids and themselves. She and her husband Bruce are local Honolulu business owners and parents of two teens and one fur-baby.

Who is facilitating this course?

Unfortunately, not. This course is a seven-part series that builds on each lesson to culminate in a full understanding of child development. We highly encourage both parents to attend this class together as concepts connect to everyday decisions adults make in the home. Material is suited to single parents and grandparents alike.

Can I take just one class?

In 2022, we began hosting Connected Families classes at One Love and the first course was Discipline that Connects with Your Childs Heart. Over 53 families have participated and parents are asking for more chances to learn together and meet other families through this connective experience. This is the first time Sensitive and Intense Kids has been offered, and we hope to offer more variations of parent education and support through One Love.

Is this class new to One Love?

Yes! Jenn is happy to provide a certificate of ongoing education in the area of child development and behavior for you for a total of 14 hours. Many adults need proof of continued learning or ongoing training if they serve as foster parents, custody requirements, early childhood worker, or other teacher education. In order to receive the certificate, you must attend all seven weeks of class.

Is there an opportunity for CEU credit or certification?

Sure! We’ve had non-parent friends join us before. However, preference will be given to current parents as seats are limited. One option available to you is to help Jenn set up and break down the class materials each week as a service volunteer, which will guarantee you a seat in class.

I’m not a parent, but I work with kids and want to learn more. Can I attend?

LEARN TO WALK IN YOUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST

The Freedom in Christ Course is a three-part series consisting of two 12-week discipleship classes and a Freedom Weekend on the North Shore of Oahu. The Freedom In Christ Course is a discipleship class that provides practical tools that help establish believers alive and free in Christ. The courses cover two best-selling books written by Neil T. Anderson — Victory Over the Darkness and The Bondage Breaker and conclude with a Freedom Weekend hosted on the North Shore.

The Freedom in Christ Course is an intensive study that helps Christians walk in greater levels of freedom by addressing root-level issues that can hinder their intimacy with God and others. This course teaches you about your true identity in Christ as a holy, beloved, adopted Child of God. You will learn about the greatest weapon the enemy of our sanctification uses to hinder the body of Christ, and you will have the time to take a personal inventory, identifying anything that may be hindering your intimacy with Christ

THE FREEDOM IN CHRIST COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO 3 PARTS

Victory Over Darkness

This class is a topical study on your identity in Christ. The inductive study details:

Who you are in Christ

Ways Christians are vulnerable
Temptation, Accusation, and Deception
How you can live a liberated life in Christ

The 12-week fall class begins on July 28th and ends on October 20th (With a week off on September 8).

Freedom Weekend / Steps to Freedom

The class graduates during the Freedom Weekend, where participants go through The Steps to Freedom in Christ, a discipleship curriculum designed to help Christians resolve their personal and spiritual conflicts through genuine repentance and faith in God. The Freedom Weekend will be on November 8th – 10th.

The Freedom in Christ Course is for Christians seeking to walk in new levels of freedom and maturity. Classes are hosted in a group environment, including a table leader and facilitator. The studies include a weekly teaching, book review, study guide, and small group discussion. The classes are open to men and women of all ages dedicated to growing closer to Christ.

The Freedom in Christ Course will cover Dr. Anderson’s first two best-selling books, Victory Over the Darkness and The Bondage Breaker.

Can I take just one class?

In 2023, One Love piloted both book studies and the Freedom Weekend. The classes consisted of approximately 25 class participants, including two staff members and three Elders of One Love Ministries. The pilot Freedom Weekend included eight participants, including three married couples and one elder. Class participants oversaw the teachings and were encouraged to provide recommendations at the conclusion of each phase to improve the 2024 course.

In 2022, One Love Ministries sponsored Matt Coffman to become a certified Freedom in Christ Ministry Associate. Matt finished his training in 2022 and facilitated the first pilot group of invite-only class participants with his wife and three table leaders.

Who is facilitating this course?

The Freedom Weekend provides our class participants the opportunity to take a personal inventory of their lives and work through the Steps to Freedom in Christ, a discipleship tool that helps Christians resolve their personal and spiritual conflicts through genuine repentance and faith in God.

What is the Freedom Weekend?

Yes! We encourage husbands and wives to participate. In fact, we have received numerous positive testimonies from husbands and wives who have worked through these materials together.
