Ep. 82 Big Kids, Bigger Feelings: how to regulate your nervous system while teaching your child to process theirs with Alyssa Blask Campbell

56 minutes

Parenting in the thick of toddlerhood can feel like a rollercoaster of meltdowns, overstimulation, and mom guilt. In this week’s episode, we sit down with Alyssa Blask Campbell—CEO of Seed & Sew, emotional development expert, mom of two, and author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions and Big Kids, Bigger Feelings—to talk about how to regulate your nervous system while teaching your child to process theirs.

Alyssa walks us through her FACTS method (Food, Activity, Connection, Tune Out, Sleep), a simple but powerful check-in tool for parents who feel like they’re one scream away from snapping. We also dig into her Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) Method, a 5-step framework for helping kids feel safe experiencing big feelings, while building coping strategies that last a lifetime.

You’ll hear real-life scripts to use instead of “You’re fine!” or “Calm down,” repair strategies for those inevitable moments when we lose our cool, and grounding tools that actually work when the house feels like chaos. Whether you’re desperate for ways to keep your calm in the heat of a tantrum or looking to raise emotionally resilient kids, this conversation will leave you feeling equipped, supported, and a little less alone.

Because at the end of the day, you don’t have to be a perfect parent—you just have to be a present one who’s willing to feel, repair, and try again.
