How To Listen To Children’s Big Feelings

In the May edition of the Monthly Special Episode I am joined with a new colleague Marilupe de la Calle who I had a pleasure meeting in person recently.

We have 3 segments:

  • Examples from Our Homes
  • What’s Up with You? Answering listener parenting questions
  • Favorite Finds

Segment 1: 

Marilupe shares how she was able to do a deep listening session one day at her children’s gymnastics place. How was she able to give of her loving attention to both girls at the same time? Then she shares a parenting fail and how it helped her to bring some unconscious stuff to the surface through a listening partnership. 

I share a failed attempt at connecting and listening to my daughter’s big feelings one day after school. 

Segment 2: We answer a couple of questions on potty language, and we share a step by step process of how you can listen to your children’s big feelings.

Segment 2: We answer your questions. 

Highlights

  • the fear of abandonment in children and how real it can be
  • what our children actually need from us when they are experiencing big emotions
  • why it really doesn’t matter what your child is crying about
  • what you need to know about pretext cry
  • how to repair after a rupture
  • how can you “craft” your compassionate response that matches the intensity of your child’s feelings (this is HUGRE!)
  • is potty language normal?
  • playful and creative ways to deal with “bad” words (it’s not what you expect)

A great companion for this episode is How To Stay C.A.L.M. in The Moment from our catalog. A must listen! In which we explore practical strategies that will help YOU to remain present and respond to your children’s big feelings.
