Host Kay and expert Sasha explore why young children experience intense emotions and have tantrums. They explain that these episodes are normal, not misbehavior. And offer practical co-regulation strategies, such as staying calm, using predictable routines, and viewing tantrums as a form of communication. Support, rather than punishment, helps children develop emotional regulation. Tune in to gain a better understanding and to learn how to support your child's emotional growth.

The Cribs, Crayons, College: The Child Development Podcast was created for parents, families, caregivers, and everyone who plays a role in a child’s life. Proceeds from this podcast help support kidpreneurs, young entrepreneurs building their first big ideas by teaching them creativity, leadership, and hands-on business skills. Through small-business courses and sponsorships, we help children's dreams come true.
