Little Humans, Big Feelings

In this episode, I chat with Kimi Eames, a Clinical Sociologist who’s currently working in private practice. We dive into the topic of helping kids manage their emotions, not just by looking at their feelings, but also by teaching them how to regulate them. Kimi explains how the way parents, families, and communities interact can all impact a child’s ability to control their emotions. We also discuss some practical strategies that parents, grandparents, and caregivers can use to help their kids learn self-regulation, like putting things into perspective and using mirroring techniques.
