Talking to kids about emotions is only going to make them soft snowflakes. Letting kids show their emotions opens them up to bullying or means they're going to walk all over us when they're mad. Right?

Think again.

In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest parenting myths around emotional intelligence, and breaking down why raising emotionally intelligent kids is the OPPOSITE of raising weak ones.

I'm talking about:

• What real resilience actually looks like (and why “toughening up” is outdated)
• How emotional intelligence builds grit, problem-solving, and self-regulation
• The dangerous behaviours that come from not teaching kids how to handle emotions
• And how to raise kids who bounce back, think clearly under pressure, and own their emotions—instead of being ruled by them.

Whether you’re new to the EI approach or still battling a skeptical partner or in-law, this one’s for you.

PLUS — I’ll share my own story, practical examples, and a crazy-simple analogy that’ll reframe everything you thought you knew about “soft parenting.”

(🎁 Scroll down for my gift!! 🎁)

When a mum shared online that she blew up at her 10-year-old daughter, who then jumped out of the car in a crowded carpark, the comments went WILD.

Everyone flooded in with BAD ADVICE.

“Take her devices!” “Be stricter!” “Punish her for being disrespectful!”

Are we still in the 80's? Seems so.

In this video, I break down why that advice is not only unhelpful — but actually incredibly harmful for kids who are already struggling.

And it doesn't help the parent at all either!

This isn’t just about disrespect or screen time… it’s about what’s going on beneath the behaviour.

I’ll walk you through:

🧠 Why punishment-based advice (aka behaviourism) NEVER works — especially with neurodivergent kids

🧠 What your child’s “bad behaviour” is really telling you

🧠 How you can stay calm and connected when your child pushes your buttons

🧠 What I would have said to this mum if we were sitting down together over coffee

🎁 🎁 🎁 If you’re feeling reactive, overwhelmed or stuck in power struggles, check out my course From Reactive to Responsive Parenting — it’s made exactly for moments like these.
