In these episodes (which we aim to do approximately once a month), we are going to dive into a theme relevant to motherhood. For our non-parents out there (like Dr. Tay!), we believe that many of these topics will still be relevant to you. Much of what we will share will apply to little and big humans alike!This week we focus on emotion regulation, validation, and processing. Listen as we share how children learn their emotions from their parents and how we may inadvertently be suppressing our emotions as adults.Here’s what we’re going to dive into on this week’s episode:Handling big emotions from little humansEmotion regulation in children and adultsResponding vs. reactingAddressing emotion regulation as parentsResources mentioned in this episode:BooksThink Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Everyday by Jay ShettyChoose Your Story, Change Your Life: Silence Your Inner Critic and Rewrite Your Life from the Inside Out by Kindra HallMindfulness ResourcesMindful.orgGuided Meditations from UCLATherapy Resources (for you or your child)Psychology TodayOpen Path Collective for affordable therapy ratesAs ALWAYS, we have a Messy Action Takeaway on how to put this episode into action!Can you tell we really like taking action around here? 😉Go listen to this episode and tag us on Instagram with your thoughts!
