    Managing Big Emotions

    Managing Big Emotions

    We’ve all experienced a time when emotions got the best of us and completely lost our cool. As single parents, we don’t have a partner to co-regulate with or to cover for us as we fight to stabilize our emotions. Sometimes it feels nearly impossible to manage our responses well when we’re already trying to manage everything else. How can we regulate big emotions on our own so that we can model healthy emotional regulation for our children?
    Today, we cover three main points:
    1) The basics of emotional regulation
    2) The importance of emotional regulation as a parent
    3) Tools for stabilizing in unstable moments

    Unsung Hero with David & Helen Smallbone

    Unsung Hero with David & Helen Smallbone

    Today we will be talking about the upcoming movie release Unsung Hero with David & Helen Smallbone.
    “Unsung Hero” follows Helen and David Smallbone after having lost everything when David’s successful music company collapses. In 1991, with nothing more than their seven children, suitcases, and a love of music, the family left everything they knew in Australia and moved to the United States, hoping to rebuild their life into a bigger, brighter future. Based on an incredible true story, Helen’s faith inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs as they band together as a family in a brand-new country. With their own dreams on hold, David and Helen begin to realize the musical giftedness in their children, who would become two of the most successful acts in Inspirational Music history: five-time Grammy Award-winning artists for KING + COUNTRY and Rebecca St. James. “Unsung Hero” releases in movie theaters everywhere on April 26, 2024.
