About this episode
In this episode, we talk about the causes of children's big feelings, ways we can respond helpfully and responses that aren't so helpful for children. We include the balance of attention and why it is central to Aware Parenting. We share why children expressing big feelings can be different to adults expressing big feelings, and why our own inner work is vital if we are to be able to welcome our children's tears and tantrums.
