We talk a lot about BIG reactions when our kids have big feelings, but what about quiet, sensitive children who struggle when other people around them are upset? Often these children will do anything they can in order to make others feel better. To keep the peace, they will also disregard their own needs – even when we encourage them to stand up for themselves! 
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why many parenting strategies don’t work with our sensitive children (and may even make things worse)
How to help our kids deal with discomfort -- without hurting their self-esteem
How we can help "sensitive" children become confident, resilient kids who know how to advocate for themselves in difficult situations

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why we get stuck in a “cycle of Yuck” (and feel guilty and ashamed)
How your ability to regulate yourself impacts your influence with your child 
A simple tool you can use in the moment to get unstuck - even when your children are complaining or melting down

We want our days to be filled with peace and connection, but those of us raising kids with big emotions know that’s not always the reality. Even when we try hard to fix the arguing, complaining, and general resistance to our requests, it can feel like nothing reduces the drama long-term -- and sometimes, it seems like our efforts are actually making things worse.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why some of your current parenting strategies may not be working, despite your best efforts
The real reasons behind seemingly-unbreakable cycles -- and what to do about it!
The lifelong benefits (for us and our kids) of breaking negative cycles for good

It can be overwhelming navigating the constantly-changing emotions and reactions of children who feel things strongly. One minute they’re happy and the next, they are melting down about something that’s not even a big deal! We want to reduce the drama and be a powerful positive influence with our kids, but how do we do that when we don’t really understand what’s driving their reactions?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What to check first when kids have unpredictable behavior
How to “see” inside our children’s brains, so we can approach them with compassion instead of judgment 
The benefits of changing our perspective when kids have confusing reactions
