Many children with big emotions also struggle with anxious thoughts. When our child feels scared, nervous, or overwhelmed, our first instinct is usually to reassure them that everything will be okay. But what if we are actually making it HARDER for them to feel better in the moment and build resilience for the future?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why, in our defense, we’re wired reassure our children when they feel anxious

  • What happens in our kids’ brains when we reassure them (and why they often feel more anxious after we try to help)

  • Three things our children with big emotions actually need to regulate their nervous system
