    Popcast#16 - Frustration and How to Cope with It

    🎧 In today’s episode, we’re tackling frustration—that tricky “ugh!” feeling kids get when puzzles won’t fit, math feels impossible, or soccer practice doesn’t go their way. The good news? Frustration isn’t a stop sign—it’s a chance to build frustration tolerance, a super-skill that helps kids keep going even when things feel hard. Here’s what we cover in this episode: 🧩 What frustration really means – helping kids see it as a sign their brains are growing stronger, not that they’re failing. 💬 Fun, relatable stories and “dry runs” – from piano practice meltdowns to tricky puzzles, with real-life ways to cope. 🌬️ Simple strategies – like deep breathing, mantras (“I can do hard things!”), and family values that normalize mistakes. 🛡️ Emotional tools – teaching kids “emotional vaccinations” to prepare for challenges before they happen. 🎯 A fun challenge – encouraging your child(ren) to practice frustration tolerance by trying one coping tool the next time frustration shows up. 🎵 New Feature! Each episode now comes with a theme song to inspire kids. This week’s pick: “Try Everything” by Shakira (from Zootopia)—a perfect anthem for embracing mistakes and never giving up. Listening to this episode will help your child build patience, resilience, and confidence—skills that serve them in school, friendships, and life. 🌈💪 🎧 Tune in now and help your kids turn frustration into their learning superpower! 👂 Links in bio to listen to the full episode (and our song pick!) with your kiddo(s). #popcastforkids #frustration #growthmindset #frustrationtolerance #parentingtips #resilientkids #kidspodcasts #positiveparenting #emotionalintelligence #copingskills #tryeverything #learningthroughfrustration #bigquestionsbuildconfidence

    Popcast#13 - "Lying: Why We Do It (Even When We Don’t Want To)"

    🎧 In today’s episode, we explore a topic every child deals with at some point: Lying — and why we might do it. From fibs about homework to stories that “just fell out,” we’re helping kids (ages 5–10) understand the big feelings behind small lies. In this episode, we’ll cover: 🧠 Why lying often comes from fear, guilt, or a wish to feel safe — not because your child is being “bad.” 🎭 How pretend play, fantasy, and imagination blur the line between truth and “wish” for kids. 📖 Gentle, kid-friendly stories that show how lying is usually a signal of a deeper need — like connection or independence. 🤗 A heartwarming example of a grown-up responding with empathy, making space for honesty and emotional safety. 🎯 A simple challenge to help your child notice those truth-telling moments and feel proud of their bravery. Listening together will help your child feel more confident about telling the truth — and help you respond with curiosity instead of punishment, building trust and connection in the process. 💖👂 🎧 Tune in now — link in bio to listen to the full episode with your kiddo! #PopcastForKids #LyingAndFeelings #HonestyTakesCourage #ParentingWithEmpathy #TruthTellingKids #RaisingGoodHumans #KidsPodcasts #EmotionalIntelligence #PositiveParenting #AttachmentMatters
