In this week’s episode of Raising Mum and Dad, we explore why children under 5 feel emotions so intensely — and how we as parents can guide them through the highs and lows without losing our cool (well… most of the time).

We cover:

🧠 What’s going on in your child’s brain during those big feelings

🗣 Why limited words can lead to big reactions

💖 How your emotions impact theirs (and why your calm matters)

🌟 Practical, real-life tips to soothe tantrums and celebrate wins

Whether it’s the “banana broke” crisis or the joy of a perfectly stacked block tower, these moments are shaping your child’s world — and your connection with them.

🎧 Listen now for laughs, reassurance, and a toolkit for riding the emotional rollercoaster of the early years.
