Welcome to Big Emotions - LOVE and SADNESS! Part of the Kids Listen Big Emotions Mashups, this is part 2 of Love and Sadness, hosted by your favorite narrator, Trusty! In part 1 we learned how love pulls us toward others, where sadness draws us inward to reflect. In this episode we explore how these two emotions often arrive together - and how we can support others and ourselves when sadness shows up. Through heartfelt stories from Kids Listen shows (tons of other great kids podcasts), we discover that listening, being present, and slowing down can be some of the most caring acts we share.

Parenting doesn't magically get “easier” once kids are past the toddler years—and Alyssa Blask Campbell wants us to stop pretending it does. The bestselling author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions is back with her new book Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, a guide to navigating the rollercoaster of the elementary school years—when kids are “too old for tantrums, but too young for teen drama.” Alyssa joins Mosheh to break down why these years matter so much for building resilience, empathy, and emotional intelligence. She explains how parents can act as “emotional detectives” to uncover what's really driving behavior, the difference between respect and obedience, and why our own self-regulation as adults is the model our children will copy. We also dig into practical, everyday dilemmas: how to handle screen time and peer pressure, what to do when your child lies, and how to respond to difficult emotions like sadness and anger. Plus—the often-overlooked role of diet, sleep, and nervous system regulation in shaping behavior.Alyssa also shares insights from her Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method, and why teaching kids to manage their feelings is the single greatest gift parents can give.

In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline discusses the high-energy, often “unpleasant” emotions that kids struggle with — the stormy ones like anxiety, anger, frustration, and overwhelm.These emotions aren't problems to fix or behaviours to shut down. They're signals, calling for safety, connection, fairness, or skill support.Listen in to learn how to:Recognize behaviours as the tip of the iceberg — with deeper emotions underneathSupport kids in pausing before reacting, so they can ride the emotional wave without drowning in itTeach grounding, movement, and self-coaching tools that keep the self-regulating prefrontal cortex onlineReframe frustration, envy, and jealousy into opportunities for growth and resilienceUnderstand resentment as a warning of unspoken boundaries and unmet needsInstead of teaching kids to suppress or escape emotions, this episode shows how to help them tolerate, explore, and grow through them — building self-awareness, confidence, and lasting emotional resilience.“When we rush to fix a child's emotion, we send the message that the feeling itself is unsafe. But when we sit with them — quietly, patiently, without solving — we teach that emotions are just part of being human. The goal isn't to feel better right away. It's to get better at feeling.”

Today, we have a special bonus episode for you! This is an episode from Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings — a special 7-week series where more than 40 kids' podcasts have come together to explore big feelings through stories. This week's theme is Jealousy & Openness, and includes a clip from our sister-show Koala Tots

As mothers, our first instinct when our child cries or melts down is to fix the problem — to soothe, distract, or offer quick solutions. But what if that's not what our children really need?In this episode of Jannah Beneath Her Feet, we explore a profound yet simple parenting shift: becoming a container for your child's emotions. Drawing from the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and modern psychology, we'll look at why children don't actually need us to “solve” their problems, but rather to hold space for the big emotions they can't yet carry alone.You'll learn:Why dismissing or rushing to fix a problem leaves your child feeling unseenHow the Prophet ﷺ comforted young Abu Umair when his pet sparrow died — a timeless example of emotional presenceThe importance of naming and validating your child's feelings before moving to solutionsHow your own emotional habits mirror into your parenting — and why self-work is key to raising emotionally intelligent childrenAnd because tarbiyah always starts with the mother, I also share how we dive deep into these topics inside the Holistic Tarbiyah Academy — my four-month mentorship program designed to help Muslim mothers heal, regulate, and thrive in their motherhood while laying strong Islamic foundations for their children. Enrollment for our October batch is now open. Link below!https://www.toddlertarbiyah.com/holistictarbiyahacademy

When our kids are upset, we often suggest strategies to help them calm down or manage tough situations—like taking deep breaths, counting to ten, or breaking down assignments into smaller steps. But when those strategies don't instantly erase the discomfort, both kids (and parents!) often conclude that “nothing works.” In this episode, you'll learn: How to assess whether a strategy really “works” or not (so kids stop insisting that nothing works!) A powerful exercise you can try with your child to help them build tolerance for discomfort Simple ways to introduce the idea of tolerance in everyday situations (like chores, screen time, or schoolwork) -- FREE RESOURCE: Understanding the Yuck Curve Other free resources to support you as you're raising a child with big emotions Join Rachel's Facebook group Work with Rachel

She brings a unique perspective that combines cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with the messy reality of parenting, and shares a revolutionary approach to handling both our children's emotions and our own.   Join us this week to discover practical strategies for when emotions run high (both yours and your child's).    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/110   Follow us on our socials: https://www.instagram.com/planningplaytime/ https://www.facebook.com/Planningplaytime/ https://www.pinterest.com/planningplaytim/

Jealousy & Openness Part 1 is available now, and I'm honored to guide the conversation around some of the most complex emotions kids face in friendships.If you're just learning about this, Big Emotions is a limited podcast series created with my friends from Kids Listen, Tal Kelly and Jenna Clarke. The series explores 7 emotional themes through 14 episodes, released on Tuesdays and Thursdays through October 30th. Each week, it shines a light on different feelings pairs. The series features clips from over 40 podcasts for kids.What's coming up* Jealousy & Openness (Sept 23, 25) - I'm hosting these!* Anger & Forgiveness (Sept 30, Oct 2) - Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic is featured* Belonging & Independence (Oct 7, 9) - Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic is featured* Embarrassment & Pride (Oct 14, 16)* Love & Sadness (Oct 21, 23)* Endings & Beginnings (Oct 28, 30)This week we're exploring jealousy and envy, which we know can be tricky feelings - they can sting, make us compare ourselves to others, or worry we'll lose someone important to us. But they can also be helpful, pointing us toward what matters most and motivating us to grow.In today's episode, you'll learn the difference between jealousy and envy, explore their opposites (like openness, compassion, and contentment), and hear how kids and families deal with these feelings with curiosity and kindness.The episode features stories from Girl Tales and Sleep Tight Stories, as well as Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic, all woven together to help kids understand that these big emotions are normal and manageable.Part 2 comes on Thursday, where we'll go further into how kids can handle jealousy in ways that strengthen rather than damage their relationships.I've also created downloadable SEL Activity Sheets for each episode to help you continue the conversation at home and deepen what your child learns from the episode: Activity Sheets (PDFs)Listen to the rest of the episodes wherever you get your podcasts: https://pod.link/1502915722I can't wait for you to hear what we've created together.

EP:158 Hey friends, it's Brooke! In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Alyssa, the brilliant mind behind “Big Kids, Bigger Feelings” and “Tiny Humans, Big Emotions.” We dove deep into what truly sets her work apart—understanding the unique nervous system of every child (and adult!). Alyssa shared her journey from teaching preschool to pioneering the Collaborative Emotion Processing Method, and we explored why emotional intelligence isn't just about kids—it's about us, too. We talked about practical ways to support kids in schools and at home, from sensory breaks to setting real boundaries, and why it's so important to use data and outcomes—not just anecdotes—to measure the impact of emotional development programs. Alyssa's insights on empowering parents, teachers, and kids to understand their own brains and bodies are game-changers. If you're ready to move beyond the buzzwords and really make a difference in your child's (and your own!) emotional well-being, this episode is for you. Don't forget to check out Alyssa's books and the free SEEDquiz.com questionnaire to discover your unique nervous system profile! Let's keep this conversation going—share your thoughts, tag a friend who needs to hear this, and let's build a community of empowered, emotionally intelligent families and educators. #EmotionalIntelligence #BigKidsBiggerFeelings #ParentingTips #SensorySupport #ChildDevelopment #BrookeWeinsteinPodcast #EmpoweredParents #SeedDandSew #MentalHealthMatters Listen now, take the SEED quiz, and let's connect on Instagram @BrookeWeinstein and @Seed.and.sew!

Today's vibe: totally different—and kind of wild. I pressed a little “Create audio summary” button inside NotebookLM (after loading my CMP book + Pivot material), and it generated a 20-minute conversation distilling Connect Method Parenting using only my sources. I listened and thought: ok, parents ask me for this kind of quick, clear overview all the time…so I'm sharing it with you as a bonus episode.You'll hear:The core pain point from thousands of parent notes: “I hate yelling. It feels like it's the only thing that works.” (Oof. I've been there.)Why connection, not louder consequences—is the lever (think: attachment is the fuel line).The 4 CMP mindset pillars:Gardener > SculptorYou, Not Them (extreme ownership without self-blame)Behavior = Feedback (curiosity over judgment)Compassionate Alpha (strong & kind leadership)The self-regulation tools you can use today:STEAR (spot the split-second thought that drives the blow-up)PEACE (pause, download the thoughts, allow the feelings → mad-to-sad shift)The connection builders: six minutes that matter, 1:1 child-led time (aka “no teaching allowed”).Handling conflict without losing closeness:The Circle of Big Emotions (three exits for frustration)The Seen & Heard “sandwich”: See → (Set/Play/Pivot) → BridgeWhy this is a marathon, not a magic wand—and why small, consistent reps change everything.Why share an AI episode? Because it's a crisp, neutral pass through my own material, and for some of you, hearing it summarized like this will make the lights turn on. If it feels a little “whoa,” same. Tell me if it's awesome or weird. I want your take.Join me for the No Yell Workshop, a 2-hour live class where you'll learn the real reason parents yell and walk away with a customized plan to stop. Happening Sept 25th at noon ET (with replay included)

When you're raising a child with big emotions, it's natural for an "easier" sibling to get less of your time and attention. But a more flexible child may pay a quiet price -- giving in to avoid conflict, hiding their feelings, or believing they matter less. Chances are, you've noticed that but aren't sure what to do.  Fortunately, a few small shifts can make a big difference in how they view themselves (and will can make you feel less guilty).  In this episode, you'll learn how to: Spot the signs that an "easier" child is struggling Show them that they matter (even if you've told them and it hasn't helped) Help them learn to stand up for themselves -- FREE RESOURCE: Understanding the Yuck Curve Other free resources to support you as you're raising a child with big emotions Join Rachel's Facebook group Work with Rachel

If there's one thing every parent of girls knows, it's this: emotions can run deep, wide, and loud. From tearful meltdowns to dramatic outbursts, our daughters' feelings can often feel like tidal waves that threaten to pull the whole household under. But what if those very moments weren't interruptions to parenting—but opportunities for discipleship?  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay, Founder & Executive Director Emeritus of American Heritage Girls, sits down with licensed professional counselor and bestselling author Michelle Nietert to unpack how parents can guide their daughters through big emotions with both compassion and Biblical truth. Drawing from decades of experience as a counselor, school crisis responder, and mom, Michelle offers practical insights for helping girls process sadness, fear, and anxiety while building emotional resilience that's rooted in Christ.  You'll hear encouragement for the mom who feels like her daughter is drowning in emotions, guidance on discerning when drama signals deeper emotional needs, and everyday ways parents can connect spiritual discipleship to emotional growth. From playground drama to teenage friendship struggles, Michelle reminds us that while the world may tell girls to be ruled by their feelings, God calls them to bring those feelings to Him.  Scripture References:  Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”  2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”  Philippians 4:6–7 – “Do not be anxious about anything… and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  Galatians 5:22–23 – The fruit of the Spirit, including self-control. This conversation will leave you equipped with tools, reassured by truth, and reminded that you are not alone in raising emotionally healthy, Godly girls.  This conversation will leave you equipped with tools, reassured by truth, and reminded that you are not alone in raising emotionally healthy, Godly girls.  You can learn more about Michelle and her work at michellenietert.com  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.     To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

I highly recommend the entire episode, not just from a parenting perspective, but from a relationships perspective. You can find the entire episode here.

You've heard how important it is to have a strong connection with your children. But when we are raising kids who are anxious or sensitive, sometimes our attempts to connect with them are more about fixing a problem than about making a genuine connection… and they feel that! The good news is, one little change can improve your influence and help your child handle their uncomfortable moments with less stress (for them) and less exhaustion (for you). In this episode, you'll learn:  What genuine connection looks like and sounds like How this strong parent-child connection SAVES you energy  A simple metaphor to help you remember how to make this type of connection in the moment -- FREE RESOURCE: Understanding the Yuck Curve Other free resources Join Rachel's Facebook group Work with Rachel

In this episode, Tony opens up about his decision to get a vasectomy, the stigma men face around preventive health, growing up uncomfortable with his body, and how he learned to navigate self-image in comedy and relationships.

Plus — shower debates, colonoscopy prep, vegetarian life, religion, peace over happiness, and much more.

A new school year can bring excitement, but for kids with big emotions, it may also bring worry, “what if” questions, and knots in the stomach. As parents, we want to jump in with reassurances, solutions, or distractions, but those attempts -- which are actually signs of our anxiety -- often increase our kids' Yuck. Fortunately, a simple strategy can help us center ourselves so we can support our children more effectively.    In this episode, you'll learn:  Why we need to regulate ourselves before we try to help our kids  Simple actions we can take reduce their anxiety (and our discomfort with their discomfort) What our children need in order to handle their transition to school with confidence, even when we're not there to help --  FREE RESOURCE: "Discomfort is not dangerous" printable FREE RESOURCE: Understanding the Yuck Curve Join Rachel's Facebook group Work with Rachel
