Tiny humans can have big feelings! If you’re feeling like you’re juggling a million things—especially your child’s feelings—you’re not alone! I had a great conversation with parenting expert Rachel Bailey, where we explore how to understand and manage those overwhelming emotions, navigate meltdowns, and set effective boundaries. Rachel also shares powerful tips on fostering resilience in kids and strategies for parents to stay calm and consistent. If you're a mom balancing home and work, this episode is packed with invaluable strategies that you don't want to miss!

Today we cover:

• Instead of simply trying to stop meltdowns, focus on understanding what's truly causing these big reactions

• The importance of teaching your child the skills to manage their emotions themselves and how it leads to better mental health and resilience over time
