Big Feelings, Little Humans: Understanding Emotional Regulation in Children. Supporting children — and the adults who love them — to navigate big emotions with safety and awareness.

Send us Fan Mail What if children’s “big behaviours” weren’t problems to fix — but messages to understand? In this episode, Leone Wilson sits down with Clinical & Family Psychologist Dr Rhiarne Pronk-Scholes to explore emotion regulation in children through a compassionate, developmentally informed lens — unpacking how environment, family dynamics, and nervous system awareness shape the way kids experience and express their feelings. In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone Wilson is joined by Clinical & Family Psychologist Dr Rhiarne Pronk-Scholes for an insightful conversation about emotion regulation difficulties and behaviours in children. Together, they explore how emotional awareness develops over time — influenced by brain development, family interaction patterns, environmental stressors, and the everyday moments that shape a child’s sense of safety and connection.Rather than viewing behaviour as something to control, this discussion invites parents and caregivers to consider behaviour as communication — offering practical insights into co-regulation, emotional language, and skill-building strategies that support children to better understand and navigate their feelings.This episode is designed to feel grounding and supportive, helping families move beyond blame or overwhelm toward curiosity, compassion, and confident connection.You can find us at -https://harvestinghealth.com.au/facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LeoneDeborahWilsonNaturopathInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/harvesting_health_hub/
