Episode 1: Big Emotions, Little Bodies | Saying “Yes” to Understanding

Why do toddlers melt down over tiny things? Why do preschoolers seem to feel everything so deeply?

In this episode, we explore what’s really going on beneath those big emotions, and how you can support your child with empathy, calm, and yes-minded strategies that build trust instead of tension.

You’ll learn:

• How early emotional development works
• Why meltdowns aren’t bad behavior
• What to say in the moment (and what not to)
• Easy-to-use “yes-minded phrases” that support regulation and connection

This episode is full of gentle reminders, practical tools, and encouragement for anyone raising or teaching young children. 💛
