In this episode of Kids With Big Emotions, I sit down with Safiya Omosanya to explore the often-overlooked stressors that can impact how our kids think, feel, and behave. From sensory overload to environmental triggers, Safiya shares her insights on what’s really going on beneath the surface when children experience big emotions—and how we as parents can create calmer, more supportive environments.
Together, we talk about moving beyond quick fixes, the importance of parent self-care, and why embracing neurodiversity can transform not only our children’s lives but also our own parenting journey.
Whether you’re in the thick of meltdowns, struggling with school expectations, or simply wondering what else might be affecting your child’s emotional regulation, this conversation is here to guide you.
🔑 Key Takeaways- Hidden stressors—like noise, smells, light, or overstimulation—can play a bigger role in your child’s meltdowns than you might realize.
- Shifting from punishment to understanding opens the door for real connection and growth.
- Parent self-care is not optional—it’s foundational to modeling regulation for your child.
- Schools and specialists are helpful, but parents are the strongest advocates and anchors for their child’s needs.
- Embracing neurodiversity allows children to thrive in their uniqueness rather than feeling “broken” or “less than.”
