This Is So Awkward

Big Kids, Bigger Feelings


Listen Later

Parenting gets easier right? HA. As our kids get older our expectations grow right along with them, sometimes outpacing their abilities. We need reminding that they are works in progress, with developing brains and burgeoning emotional intelligence. This combination makes for exciting – albeit sometimes challenging – moments when, despite wanting to do our best, we can’t necessarily get there. Enter Alyssa Campbell, MS Ed and her new book Big Kids, Bigger Feelings. Alyssa swoops in with thoughtful, evidence-based guidance for managing these bigger feelings found in bigger kids. Oh, and she tackles our enormous emotional reservoirs, too!
