Ep #161 When Emotions Are High, Intelligence Is Low: Why Your Kids Can’t Hear You (Yet)
You know those moments when your kids are going at it—screaming, grabbing, storming off—and you’re standing there thinking, “WHAT is even happening right now?”
Been there. More times than I can count.
In today’s episode, we’re talking all about sibling rivalry, emotional outbursts, and how to respond in a way that actually helps—not just in the moment, but long-term. I’m breaking it down into three parts:
- The Foundation: Why connection is the real cure for conflict—and how sadness (yes, even those bedtime tears) is a sign that things are actually working.
- In the Moment: What to do when kids are fighting, melting down, or just generally acting like small emotional tornadoes. (Spoiler: Teaching a lesson mid-meltdown doesn’t work. And it’s okay. There’s a better way.)
- After the Storm: How to revisit things after the emotions have settled and help your child grow their emotional muscles in ways that stick.
I’ll share stories from my own family (yes, including the time my kid knocked over the baby in a car seat 😳), client experiences, and simple tools you can use right away.
This one’s for you if you’ve ever said:
- “I can’t even leave the room without them fighting.”
- “They just won’t stop hitting each other.”
- “These tears every night are exhausting.”
We’re flipping the script today, my friend. Big feelings aren’t the enemy—they’re the beginning of healing. 💛
Grab a cozy drink, take a deep breath, and come sit with me. We’re doing the work that really matters.
Love,
Andee
