Episode 26. Emotional outbursts

In today’s episode Amanda shares a cute ‘tantrum’ story.  We talk about reasons the word tantrum has a negative connotation and is not conducive to responding to our kids in the way they truly need us to.  Let’s all remember that what may seem insignificant to us as adults can be a big deal for our little ones; and we should expect them to have big feelings when things don’t quite turn out as they had planned.  Referenced in this episode:  Daniel J.
