Parenting Our Littles When They Have Big Emotions

Kids. They are adorable. Until you give them a red crayon instead of a yellow one and all of a sudden that adorable kid is screaming in your face. 

Childhood tantrums can be draining. So I invited Deena and Kristin (the masterminds behind the popular Instagram account, @BigLittleFeelings) to discuss all things toddler tantrums.

Kristin is a mother of two and Deena is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has studied neurobiology and childhood development. Together, they provide amazing resources for caregivers in navigating those difficult moments with toddlers.

Tune in to find out how to be the calm, cool, and collected leader of your house with effective and loving boundary setting. 

We discuss real-life situations and provide examples on how to navigate them to help your child cope with those Big Little Feelings.
