Decoding Tantrums - Understanding, Navigating, and Regulating the Emotions Underneath

I have a shared love of child behavior and development with Alyssa Blask Campbell-CEO of Seed & Sew and host of the Voices of Your Village Podcast. She has a master’s degree in early childhood education and she joins me today to really get into the WHY behind tantrums and find more peace in the process.

She joins me to discuss: 

• The different sensory systems we have and why knowing your child’s go-to can help BEFORE and DURING a tantrum  
• How we can sometimes “over-do it” as a parent in the tantrum 
• Why AFTER a tantrum and moments of dysregulation are most important
