In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich dives into child development and parenting with Tania Johnson from The Institute for Child Psychology. Together, they explore the fundamentals of brain development, emotional resilience, and practical tools for handling meltdowns and big emotions. Tania shares insights on the importance of play in fostering confidence and resilience, how to manage parenting stress, and the power of “co-regulation” for both parent and child. This conversation is packed with tools, from “sipping cold water” to “diffusing with play,” that empower parents to build secure, competent kids ready to face life’s challenges.
