Episode 212
Often when we think of “big emotions” we think of tantrums, meltdowns, and big reactions. But many big-feeling kids don’t express their emotions loudly. Instead, they may worry, or get sad, or shut down. And of course it’s just as important to be able to support children whose big emotions are quieter.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What’s going on in the world of a child whose big emotions are a little softer
- Why our usual responses tend to make children feel worse about themselves
- What we can do to empower them and foster long-lasting resilience
