Ep #199 The Traffic Director
Today we’re talking about what it really means to guide your child through big emotions. Not fix them. Not rush them. Just guide them.
Think of yourself as the traffic director for your child’s emotions. You’re not trying to stop the traffic. You’re not trying to control it. You’re there to help it move safely in the right direction.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
- Why your child’s emotions aren’t problems to solve
- How to know when to help them change the situation or when to help them change themselves
- What it looks like to move your child toward courage, caution, or tears
- How to stay connected while they move through frustration, alarm, and pursuit
You’ll see how acting as a traffic director builds emotional resilience, deepens attachment, and keeps you calm in the middle of the chaos.
Grab your notebook ('cause you're gonna want to jot some things down), and let’s talk about how to lead with connection when big emotions show up.
