Welcome to The Life of YOU!

The bonus series where we tackle your dilemmas and share advice to navigate life’s trickier moments.

This week, I’m joined by Kate Silverton—broadcaster, child therapist, and bestselling author of There’s No Such Thing As ‘Naughty’. Drawing from years of research and real-life parenting experience, Kate helps us understand children’s emotions, why tantrums aren’t ‘bad behaviour’, and how we can build stronger connections with our kids.

Together, we answer your questions about emotional resilience, big feelings, and how to parent with confidence—even in the toughest moments.

Today:

💬 Shannon struggles to stay calm when her toddler has a meltdown—how can parents stop their child’s emotions from triggering their own?

💭 David’s 8-year-old shuts down when he’s upset—how can he encourage his child to open up without pushing too hard?

🤯 Emma asks why her 5-year-old has explosive reactions over small things—what’s the best way to help children manage frustration?
