In this solo episode, I’m talking about Kids and Big Emotions: How to Dial Up Your Emotional Intelligence and Respond Calmly.Here’s the thing—before we can help our kids manage their emotions, we have to accept that they HAVE emotions. Emotions that are normal. Healthy. Natural. Supposed to be.Remember when your child was learning to walk, read, or ride a bike? Did you step in and do it for them, rush them, or get annoyed when they didn’t get it right away? Or did you give them time, stay patient, and let them figure it out?!It’s the same with emotions! Kids need to feel their way through them in order to learn how to handle them. But we often jump in too quickly because it’s uncomfortable or inconvenient to let them ride the emotional wave. The truth is, when we allow them to go through those messy feelings, we’re giving them the tools for self-regulation.I'll tell you the one thing you can do that will completely shift how you handle things the next time your child is crying, stomping, or having a meltdown.I’ll also be sharing a viral quote of mine that really hit home for so many parents. Ready to approach those big emotions with more calm and confidence? Let’s get into it!***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.
