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

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.

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.

This podcast episode was inspired by a podcast I listened to this week: On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Jay interviews Dr. Becky from Good Inside. I highly recommend the entire episode, not just from a parenting perspective, but from a relationships perspective. You can find the entire episode here. Dr. Becky gives us a prescription for what to say when our kid comes to us with big emotions. Buy your copy of It Just Takes One on Amazon here. Sign up for weekly inspiration 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

Comedian Tony Baker joins Joy Taylor on Two Personal for a hilarious, brutally honest conversation about vasectomies, body image, and why he rejects being called “wholesome.” From the streets to the stage, Tony Baker has lived a life full of stories — and he's telling them all. 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. Joy and Tony also dive into cultural differences in affection, “where my hug at” guys, generational shifts in expressing love, and why men should get more comfortable with their bodies. 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

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us – individually and collectively – which can lead to healing, breaking down barriers, and breaking through to better realities. The problem is that most humans weren't taught how to express anger or grief in healthy ways, so it comes out sideways in distorted ways, or it gets stuffed down until we blow up or get sick. Sometimes we are the receiver of that big emotional eruption and other times we are the "unleasher" or "erupter" on someone else. This episode was originally released in July 2024 as part of our nine-part summer series, Stay Light, hosted by Christine Arylo & Jennifer Alexandar. We pulled it out of our Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library as part of our 4-part July 2025 series this year. Wisdom still so relevant for these times.     We explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from our wounds or the wounds of others, and how to do it differently in ways that lead to wholeness, including how we can: Discharge anger and grief so that it doesn't build up inside us and leak out, or erupt in distorted ways Have big emotions like rage and grief about the world, about our reality, about other people's actions or choices, without them consuming us Use our big emotions to heal ourselves and ignite creative action that inspires Deal with other people's misdirected rage and grief Respond to the things that enrage us, in powerful ways that make the world better vs. adding to the chaos Between now and the next episode, we invite you to contemplate the two-part inquiry: What anger or grief am I holding on to? Where do I feel it in my body? Bonus invitation: amplify your awareness and capacity to shift by SHARING this podcast with a friend and conversating on the inquiry together.

Parenting Podcast July 1 2025 - Helping Young Kids Handle Big Emotions by Saylorville Parenting

Sweet Mama, whether it's toddler tantrums or teen outbursts, we all face those moments when our child's emotions feel bigger than we can handle.

When we're raising children with big emotions, it can be exhausting trying to handle their behavior, moods, and attitudes along with everything else on our to-do list. Sometimes we lose our cool and say things that we regret… Other times, we find ourselves being too permissive just to avoid a meltdown. However, one simple phrase can help you find a consistent balance and become a more powerful positive influence, even in the hard moments! In this episode, you'll learn:  How to balance connection and confidence, so your kids want to follow your lead How to use this phrase in a variety of situations (with real-life examples) The long-term effects of this approach, including how it affects them and how it affects you!  --  FREE RESOURCE: How to raise children with big emotions with HEALTHY SELF ESTEEM Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we are sharing an episode that we recorded a little while ago with Dr. Mariel Buqué about breaking cycles from our childhood. Let's get real. This can be a doozy and her book slays at teaching us how to do this. It's called Break the Cycle. It's a book that focuses on healing wounds of intergenerational trauma. We all come to adulthood with different things from our childhood that we might wanna pass on to our kids and carry forward, and some things that we don't wanna pass on or carry forward. She helps us navigate what this looks like in practice. She's brilliant and I'm so jazzed to share this episode again, and then get to share the breakdown afterward with Rach.

When we're raising kids with big emotions, we often learn how to navigate their behavior, moods, and attitudes to avoid meltdowns and dramatic moments. But sometimes, even when we're doing everything “right,” our children's behavior can throw us a curveball --  crying for seemingly no reason, refusing to do something they wanted to do, or getting disproportionately angry over a small inconvenience. These situations can leave us frustrated, confused, and powerless to help. In this episode, you'll learn:  What we need to understand about our kids' confusing behavior  Why specific reactions often make them more upset How to spend less energy addressing frustrating and confusing behavior  -- FREE EVENT: "The Negativity Reset" for a more positive summer (no live participation required) Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

Are you parenting a teen with ADHD and wondering why they seem so emotionally intense? Have you ever felt helpless watching your child spiral from rejection or frustration, unsure how to support them? In this deeply compassionate and eye-opening episode, Colleen interviews Jheri South—a mom of seven neurodivergent children, ADHD coach, and parent mentor—about the often overlooked emotional side of ADHD, especially Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). Jheri shares her raw and inspiring journey from being a single mom in survival mode to becoming an empowered advocate and guide for parents of neurodivergent teens. Together, they discuss why ADHD isn't just about distractibility—it's about difficulty regulating attention and emotion. Jheri explains how understanding the neurological wiring of ADHD can radically shift a child's self-worth and a parent's approach. She also unpacks how a simple coaching tool helped her son break through emotional paralysis—and why parents must do their own work to create a stable foundation for healing and growth. Jheri's insights are grounded in both lived experience and professional expertise. She explains why many parents misinterpret emotional dysregulation as defiance, how girls often mask their symptoms, and why RSD episodes are not moments for discipline but for space and understanding. If you've ever wondered whether medication, coaching, or mindset work is the right path, Jheri provides a balanced, informed perspective—along with hope that your teen can thrive.
