Shame - Interview with a Feelings Expert

A four-year-old can teach us a lot about feelings when we actually slow down and listen. We’re joined by Griffin, who loves baseball, team chants, and superheroes like Hulk and Captain America.From there, we step into the “gathering pool” story world with characters like Kai, Liam, and Theo and use play to talk about real emotional skills. When Liam struggles, we unpack what kids often feel in those moments: the mix of relief and sadness when someone helps. That’s where we introduce a powerful idea for parents and caregivers: healthy shame. Not the crushing kind, but the healthy signal that says, “I’ve hit a limit. I need help.”We also dig into a parenting truth that can change how you respond to hard moments: kids don’t always ask for help with words. Sometimes they show it with their bodies, faces, and behavior. Resources, activities, and discussion tools for families are available at: 🌱 howareyoufeelingtoday.netLearn more about counseling and family resources at: 🌿 vothcenter.com
