Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

99: How NOT To Raise Snowflakes: This Is What Real Resilience Looks Like.


Listen Later

Talking to kids about emotions is only going to make them soft snowflakes. Letting kids show their emotions opens them up to bullying or means they're going to walk all over us when they're mad. Right?


Think again.


In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest parenting myths around emotional intelligence, and breaking down why raising emotionally intelligent kids is the OPPOSITE of raising weak ones.


I'm talking about:

  • What real resilience actually looks like (and why “toughening up” is outdated)
  • How emotional intelligence builds grit, problem-solving, and self-regulation
  • The dangerous behaviours that come from not teaching kids how to handle emotions
  • And how to raise kids who bounce back, think clearly under pressure, and own their emotions—instead of being ruled by them.


Whether you’re new to the EI approach or still battling a skeptical partner or in-law, this one’s for you.


PLUS — I’ll share my own story, practical examples, and a crazy-simple analogy that’ll reframe everything you thought you knew about “soft parenting.”
