"It's crazy how the simplest actions we can do as parents, we often don't remember to do! We focus so much on "fixing our kids' behaviors" when we haven't even noticed what's going on beneath the behavior. Tool #1 and #5 had a major impact on us. Thank you for sharing that potent example in the guide. So simple, and so powerful."

Who Am I and Why
Did I Create This?
I watched a video the other day of parents trying to calm their children during big emotional moments. They were using all the common techniques—deep breaths, soothing voices, maybe even offering a distraction like a favorite toy or snack. It was clear they were doing their very best, but I couldn’t help noticing something: the children weren’t ready to calm down. Their emotions were still running high, and the “calm-down” strategies weren’t enough to relieve them.
This is something so many of us face as parents. We’re told to focus on calming our kids down when they’re upset. But here’s the hard truth: no matter how well-intentioned our efforts, we can’t make our child feel something they’re not ready to feel. Big emotions don’t just disappear because we tell them to—they need time and tools to process and regulate.
Emotional regulation isn’t about fixing emotions or making them go away. It’s about building the skills to move through them in healthy, constructive ways. As parents, when we shift our focus from “calming down” to "moving through" feelings, we empower our kids to handle their emotions—not just in the moment, but for life. And firstly, we can do this with our own big emotions!
