#8 What A 2-Year-Old Taught Us About Emotions


Listen Later

This episode is all about the riches and insights we get from being around children. We are two psychologists (not specialized in child development) contemplating the wisdom we see in them. 


I remembered one thing that an Author/Coach from the Netherlands told me. She switched to working with children & teenagers because they are not yet so set in their patterns and willing to change. 


Sometimes it seems that adults are different from children. They have responsibilities, should be more in control of their emotions and know what they want. But the longer we talked about this subject the more we saw the similarities


When we slept wrong, we are moody. When we suppress our emotions for too long we get sick. Other people don't understand what we are doing. 


The main parts we will talk about are:



  • Fun stories of children

  • Personality traits that shine through as a child 

  • What would happen when society would be more authentic

  • How can we be better adults by learning from children

  • What steps can we do to improve ourselves
