Teaching Kids to Name and Understand Emotions -- Episode 69

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.

What Emotional Intelligence Really Looks Like in Kids -- Episode 68

I’m starting a new series on the podcast that I’ve been really excited about: Raising Emotionally Intelligent Kids. If you listened back to episode 15, this is something I’ve talked about before…  but I wanted to come back to it in a deeper, more practical way. Because we hear this phrase all the time. We want emotionally intelligent kids. But what does that actually look like in real life?   Join me over the next few weeks as we unpack what it looks like.

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.

Being Firm Without Raising Your Voice -- Episode 65

You don’t have to get louder…  to be taken seriously. I’ve had to shift this in my own parenting. Firm doesn’t mean harsh.  Calm doesn’t mean permissive. It means clear.  Consistent.  Steady. This episode is all about how to hold boundaries without raising your voice—and why it actually works better in the long run.
