You tell your kiddo that it’s time to stop playing and get ready for dinner. They respond, “No! You’re stupid!” Or “I hate you!” Or some other frustrating and triggering response. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and react quickly. But in today’s episode of Voices of Your Village I’m diving deeper into the root of those moments and how to best support your kiddos even when it feels really hard.

Voices of Your Village ·

2019/10/31

On another episode in our Q&A series, I chat with stay-at-home-mama to an almost two-year-old, Nicole, about anxiety surrounding her tiny human’s crying. We discuss the pressure society puts on mamas to be the answer to her kiddos’ cries, and how mamas should “just know” what their child needs at all times (spoiler: they don’t, and they shouldn’t). Does letting our kiddo cry cause irreparable damage? Our conversation went down many different avenues, including how being a perfect parent does not

Voices of Your Village ·

2019/09/19

We continue our special Q&A series with Sarah, mama and early educator, who asked me all of her questions about implementing emotion processing strategies in the toddler classroom. Caring for more than one kiddo at a time presents some unique challenges, so not only do these questions apply to the classroom, but to parents of more than one kiddo, too. How do we use the CEP method when it’s difficult to give a child the one-on-one time that is needed to do so? What about letting a kiddo feel a hard

2019/09/12

Have you ever wondered how you are supposed to teach your tiny humans how to process their hard emotions if you’re not even sure how to process your own? Maybe you didn’t receive this skill-set growing up and wonder how, then, you can teach your kiddos. The truth is, you can’t teach what you don’t know, so a huge part of us teaching this to the tiny humans is building our own toolbox. On this episode of Voices of Your Village, I answer your questions about emotion processing for adults. Love this

You’re at the park and your kiddo hits another child. Or you’re at a play date and your tiny human spits at one of their peers. You feel embarrassed. You feel pressure to respond a certain way because other parents are watching. You feel triggered when you’re the one on the receiving end of your child’s physical outburst. How do you respond in these moments? In today’s episode of Voices of Your Village I’m diving into hitting, kicking, spitting, and biting. Why do kiddo’s do these things and how can

If you’re a parent or caregiver, then you’re definitely familiar with conflicts over sharing. Do we make kiddos share? What skill set do kiddos need to want to engage in collaborative play? How do we handle sharing between siblings? With strangers’ kiddos? With toys that don’t invite an opportunity for kids to collaboratively play together?

Voices of Your Village ·

2019/07/18

Have you ever really thought about what causes disappointment you experience in life? If you break it down, disappointment is usually a result of your expectations not being met in a situation. It wasn’t until a four year old said to me, “That wasn’t my expectation,” that I had this “ah ha” moment that became the biggest game changer in emotion processing for me. How does being self aware of our expectations aid in emotion processing for ourselves? How can this self awareness help us help our kiddos
