I had a great conversation with an expert parenting coach and educator Michelle Kenney, about the importance of letting our children fully express their big emotions with us to be able to offer them a "safe haven" at home and increase connection. We spoke about the importance of parenting without yelling, bribes, threatening, rewards, punishments, and what the alternatives are, and the necessity to heal ourselves to be able to practice it.  Her brand new course "Understanding Big Emotions" can be found at this link .
