In this episode, we also discuss how to help a child (or yourself) navigate big emotions.
Kim believes kids “grow up confident” when we take an active role in guiding them to befriend all emotions, to tend to negative thoughts, and to navigate their inner emotional world.
In this week’s HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast episode, you’ll learn the five-step method to help children navigate their emotions.
Kim has created a helpful guide that goes along with her five step plan to help kids deal with their negative emotions.
