201: Helping Kids Manage Even The Biggest Feelings – A Your Child Explained Conversation With Mental Health Counselor Janine Halloran

In today's episode with 3-time returning champion Janine Halloran, the conversation goes in all kinds of useful directions, many of which I did not see coming! Listen to learn more about: – Big Feelings, the ones Janine says "feel like you can't contain them in your body" – How to stop engaging in the all-too-common and dangerous parenting ploy, "positively invalidating" our kids' feelings – Whether your young child is lucky, or unlucky, in the expression of feelings (and the HUGE difference this can make in a child's life) The Handle the Holidays FREE 5-Day Challenge, designed to help you cut through the BS and really enjoy this time of year, starts in just over a week!
