Welcome to the Future Generations Podcast with Guest Alyssa Campbell, author of "Tiny Humans, Big Emotions" (New York Times Bestseller) and her newest book "Big Kids, Bigger Feelings" out this September.

Campbell breaks down the unique ways children experience and regulate their emotions, offering insights that can help parents move from reactive parenting to intentional, compassionate guidance.   Highlights: "All behaviors are communication of a need."   "What we're sensitive to drains our nervous system. What we're seeking recharges it."   "We're all unique humans, and the way our nervous system works is unique."   "It's not a question of whether your body is wise. The question is, what is your body trying to say?"   Timestamps: 03:45 - Introduction 08:01 - Exploring the Nine Sensory Systems 13:07 - Understanding Sensitivity vs. Seeking in Nervous System 25:38 - Collaborative Emotion Processing Method Explained 30:34 - Practical Strategies for Nervous System Regulation 34:38 - Deep Dive into Emotion Processing Steps 41:16 - COVID-19's Impact on Children's Emotional Development 44:27 - The Power of Compassion in Parenting 49:33 - Alyssa Campbell's Mission and Future Vision 53:07 - How to Connect and Learn More   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Alyssa Campbell: Alyssa Campbell M.Ed., is an emotional intelligence researcher, Founder and the CEO of Seed & Sew, host of the Voices of Your Village podcast and author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings: Navigating Defiance, Meltdowns, Anxiety to Raise Confident, Connected Kids (HarperCollins Harvest, 9/16/25).

The traditional education model we've been using since the 1940s was designed for assembly line workers. But this system is failing to prepare kids for real life.   This week, I'm talking to Dr. Linda Hopper, a former business coach turned classroom teacher, who turned the system upside down by bringing coaching principles into the classroom. After spending 14 years in the classroom, Dr. Hopper found that asking the right questions - rather than just giving the right answers - is the key to helping kids grow and learn.   Join us today as Dr. Hopper shows us how we, as educators and parents, can empower kids to become experts on themselves. Her approach shifts the focus away from standardized tests and helps students build skills that last a lifetime.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/107

This week, I'm talking with Stefanie Adler, a functional diagnostic nutritionist who transformed her own childhood of chronic digestive issues into a mission to help families heal through food.   After being told at age 12 that she'd have to live with IBS forever, Stefanie changed her diet against medical advice and watched symptoms she'd had for 13 years disappear within months. Now she helps parents decode their children's symptoms by addressing root causes rather than masking problems.   Join us today as Stefanie shares practical strategies for building your child's immune system through protective foods, simple swaps for common household toxins, and ways to make real food appealing even when everyone else has packaged snacks.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/106

We grow up in a world where seeking approval is assumed, expected. Authority figures (like parents) assume the responsibility of approval or disapproval to teach their offspring how to move through the world.

In this episode, Joe and Brett wrestle with the complexity of approval-seeking and how to break free from it. They explore:The push and pull between belonging and authenticityThe weight of societal norms and expectationThe way doubt and conditioning pull us from our innate wisdomThe necessity of discomfort in the pursuit of true authenticityThe somatic cues that indicate when we are honoring our truth—or avoiding itPractical exercises for cultivating self-approvalSend us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudsonBrett on X: @airkistlerAOA on X: @artofaccompVisit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.comWe invite you to experience our work.
