Kids don’t need us to keep them happy all the time, they need us to help them handle their emotions. Learning how to regulate big feelings in childhood prevents major struggles later with relationships, school, and even self-confidence.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why emotional regulation is one of the most important life skills
- The long-term problems kids face when they don’t learn it
- How to create a safe space for kids to process feelings
- Simple tools kids can use to calm down and move forward
- How your steady presence teaches them to regulate
Raising emotionally healthy kids doesn’t mean avoiding meltdowns—it means giving them the skills to navigate big feelings with confidence.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
