90: Stop "Fixing" Your Kid’s Feelings!! Do THIS Instead (It Builds Emotional Intelligence!)

Are you constantly jumping in to rescue your child from big feelings, tantrums, or tough moments?

You’re not alone!! So many of us were raised to believe that love means fixing, rescuing, or distracting.

But what if there’s a better way? (Spoiler alert. There is.)

Today I explore how emotional intelligence helps you shift from “make it stop” to “help them understand it.”

You’ll learn how to hold space without rushing in, why discomfort isn’t dangerous, and how your calm presence actually builds your child’s resilience — for life.

❤️ Discover why not fixing is the most loving thing you can do.

🧠 Learn practical tips for supporting — not rescuing — your child through hard feelings.

🚫 Stop over-validating, over-explaining, and over-helping… and start raising emotionally strong, grounded kids.
