    Jan 27 2026

    When kids reach the ages of five through twelve, their emotions often become bigger, more complex, and harder to navigate for both parents and children. In this conversation, Alyssa Blask Campbell, M.Ed., CEO and founder of Seed & Sew, helps parents understand what is really happening in a child's nervous system during big emotional moments. We talk about why kids can know better but still struggle to do better, how sensory needs and nervous system regulation impact behavior, and why power struggles often show up after long school days. Alyssa shares simple scripts, real life examples, and compassionate tools to help parents respond with connection instead of correction, while still holding clear boundaries. This episode will help you feel more confident supporting your child's emotions while staying regulated yourself.
