Join me on a journey through the emotional highs and lows that come with raising children and figuring out how to best communicate with them. Today, we sit down with child behavior specialist Laura Reardon to unpack the critical role emotional regulation plays in parenting. From the classroom to the boardroom, these skills are fundamental to our children's success, and we're diving into Laura's insights on nurturing them effectively.

Parenting is no easy feat, especially when faced with the storm of emotions that can arise in our little ones. In our second segment, we focus on the essential practice of self-care for parents. If you've ever struggled to keep your cool amid the chaos, you'll find solace and strategies here. We tackle tough topics like Sleep, nutrition, and the nuances of self-compassion when life throws your self-care routine out the window. Laura and I explore how taking care of our basic needs isn't just good for us—it's a cornerstone in supporting our children's emotional landscapes.

Lastly, we confront the real talk of behavioral challenges, from tantrums to testing boundaries. This conversation is an honest look at the unique landscapes of our children's emotions and the importance of respecting their individuality, particularly for those with sensory sensitivities or attention-related diagnoses. Laura shares compassionate strategies for managing challenging behaviors, emphasizing the power of co-regulation. Through personal tales and professional expertise, we lay out an empathetic blueprint for guiding children toward managing their emotions, ensuring that parents feel equipped to handle whatever the day may bring.
