What’s really going on inside your child’s mind!? Emotional behaviour/intelligence - with Emily, child psychologist

In our 144th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Emily from Playful Psychologist. Emily is a child psychologist, and we chat to her all about the buzz phrase at the moment, ‘emotional regulation’. What is classed as ‘normal’ behaviour versus behaviour we need to look a little more into? At what age can we teach emotional self-regulation techniques to a child? If our child is having a melt-down and they’re not listening, they’re shouting, you can’t talk to them, you can’t reason with them, what do we do? Are we to blame if our child is experiencing explosive behaviour? If our kids are saying things like, ‘I hate you’ or ‘you’re not my best friend anymore’, how should we react? Should we be putting our kids in timeout? How to manage the situation is your child is having a violent tantrum? What to do when your kids are harming themselves during a tantrum (e.g. headbutting the floor!) Do we need a diagnosis before seeing a child psychologist? And SO MUCH MORE!   Goodies mentioned: Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child Listen to The Imperfects episode, Lael Stone - Creating Emotionally Intelligent Humans   Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce!
