Many children with big emotions also struggle with anxious thoughts. When our child feels scared, nervous, or overwhelmed, our first instinct is usually to reassure them that everything will be okay.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What happens in our kids’ brains when we reassure them (and why they often feel more anxious after we try to help)
Three things our children with big emotions actually need to regulate their nervous system
