Episode 340: Energy Mismatches: Why Kids Have Big Reactions to Small Things


Listen Later

If you are raising children with big emotions, you are probably used to their big reactions when they are tired, hungry, or overstimulated. But sometimes children have big reactions even when there is no obvious reason, leaving us feeling confused and like we have to walk on eggshells around them. 

 In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • What is going on when our kids act overly irritated or annoyed but it isn’t clear why 

  • How to recognize what I call “energy mismatches” (with examples)

  • What we can do to help our kids have fewer big reactions -- and more confidence and healthy self-esteem
