Big Emotions Are Not Bad: How to Respond Without Shutting Them Down -- Episode 70

Big emotions are not bad. They’re not a problem to fix. They’re a signal. They’re telling us something is happening internally that our child doesn’t yet know how to handle. And if we only focus on stopping the emotion, we miss the opportunity to teach them what to do with it. That’s where emotional intelligence is built.

Teaching Kids to Name and Understand Emotions -- Episode 69

Last week, we started this series on raising emotionally intelligent kids, and we talked about what emotional intelligence actually looks like. Not calm kids… but kids who are learning how to understand and handle their emotions over time. And today, we’re building on that in a really practical way. We’re talking about teaching our kids how to name and understand what they’re feeling. Because this is foundational. And for many of us… it’s something we weren’t taught ourselves.

Expect Pushback: Parenting Kids Who Resist -- Episode 67

Not all kids respond the same way. Some follow directions easily. And some… push back on everything. I’ve had to remind myself — this isn’t a sign I’m doing something wrong. It’s a sign my child needs guidance in how to handle their voice, their emotions, and their need for control. This episode is all about how to stay firm without becoming harsh… and how to lead without losing connection.

The Yelling Cycle (and how to break it) -- Episode 66

Yelling doesn’t usually come out of nowhere. It builds. You ask…  You repeat…  You get frustrated…  …and then it happens. And after? The guilt. I’ve had to remind myself—this isn’t about being a “bad parent.” It’s a pattern. And patterns can be changed. This week’s episode is all about the yelling cycle—and how to start breaking it with more awareness and less pressure for perfection.
