Fortunately, there is something that we can do to help our children with transitions, and itâs easier than you might think.

It can be frustrating when our children wonât do what theyâre supposed to do: brush their teeth, finish their homework, or complete a chore that weâve been asking them to finish.

Show Notes:
While some kids with big emotions blame others, others are incredibly hard on themselves. And it can be devastating to hear them beat themselves up when they make a mistake! Often when they do, our instinct is to tell them it will be okay, that itâs not a big deal, that everyone makes mistakes. But as youâve probably noticed, that doesnât make them stop this behavior in the long run, and it can even make them feel worse in the moment. The good news is that we can use Leadership Parenting strategies to help our children â and ourselves! â handle these situations more effectively.
In this episode, youâll learn:
Why previous attempts to help our kids calm down havenât worked -- and often make things worse instead
Qualities that many children with big emotions have in common (and why it feels like they regularly get stuck in cycles of negativity)
How to stay regulated and help kids get unstuck so they can learn how to handle their mistakes in the moment⊠and build resilience for the future

Specific step-by-step strategies, called Leadership Parenting strategies, can help you make that happen.
In this episode, youâll learn:
What Leadership Parenting strategies are and why theyâre so powerful

Often when we ask our kids with big emotions to do things they have to do, instead of doing what we ask, they resist, negotiate, or even become disrespectful to us (or themselves!). And when we feel helpless and stuck, we often then fall back on strategies that our parents used with us⊠which tends to make things worse. So how can we motivate responsible and respectful behavior when our attempts seem to just lead to more drama?
In this episode, youâll learn:
Two reasons why rewards and punishments donât work for kids with big emotions
Common reasons why children struggle (and how we can identify these reasons when our kids are having a hard time)
How to go beneath kidsâ behavior to motivate more positive behaviors, moods, and attitudes with less resistance

One of the defining qualities of children with "big emotions" is that they have a hard time when things don't go their way. But explaining to them why they need to be more flexible doesn't seem to work, and it only frustrates them and us more! The good news is that we can help our children handle frustration and disappointment when we shift from telling children WHY they need to be more flexible to teaching them HOW to be more flexible.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why we reduce our influence when we try to get children to accept that things won't always go their way What they truly need in order to become more adaptable A simple formula (with examples!) to teach them to maturely handle the fact that things will go differently than they expected -- even if they are currently resistant to talk about this---

We want our children to feel respected, and we know that itâs important to connect with them and validate their feelings. But when theyâve behaved in an unacceptable way, itâs easy to wonder if, when youâre connecting with them, youâre letting them âget awayâ with negative behavior.
In this episode, youâll learn:
Why our influence does depend on being able to balance both validation and firmness
A simple formula (with examples!) to show our kids that we sincerely care about what theyâre going through without condoning negative behavior
