In This Episode We Will Dive into:

Becoming a parent comes with many assumptions, one of which is the belief that disciplining a child and providing guidance will naturally lead them to learn and do the right thing. However, many parents quickly realize that it's not always that straightforward.

One significant mistake parents often make (I did) is not understanding why their children have big emotions. It's crucial to differentiate between when a child can't control their emotions versus when they simply don't want to. Misinterpreting this can lead to ineffective discipline strategies.

Handling children's emotions incorrectly can significantly impact their emotional development. When managed properly, over time, it decreases the frequency and intensity of emotional outbursts. Conversely, mishandling these situations can increase emotional distress and potentially lead to traumas.

In this episode, we dive into the challenging world of children's emotions and explore why kids often struggle to handle their feelings. We'll discuss the common misconceptions parents have about discipline and guidance, and how understanding the root causes of children's big emotions can change the way we respond to them. By the end of this episode, you'll gain valuable insights into managing your child's emotional outbursts and fostering a healthier emotional environment at home.
