Description
In this episode, we dive into the emotional world of children and discuss what’s behind those overwhelming tantrums. Tantrums are a normal part of childhood but can often leave parents feeling confused or helpless. We explore the reasons why kids experience intense emotions, especially when they’re feeling overwhelmed or overstimulated, and how we as parents and caregivers can best respond in these moments.
Through expert insights and practical tips, we unpack the developmental reasons for tantrums and offer tools to help your child regulate their emotions, express themselves more effectively, and feel understood. By learning to navigate these challenging situations with empathy and patience, we can foster a calmer, more supportive environment that helps kids feel safe and loved.
