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.
