They often happen because kids don't have the words to say what they're feeling. And most of us never learned those words when we were growing up, either. I certainly didn't.

In this episode of Lessons for Life with Gramma Kate, I'll show you how learning more feeling words can change everything. It helps you connect better with your kids and stops everyday fights before they start. I'll share my own stories, give you easy tips, and teach you a simple three-step plan to help kids (and parents!) feel it, name it, and reframe it — so big emotions turn into learning moments instead of big blowouts.

If you want calmer days, closer relationships, and kids who can actually tell you what's happening inside their hearts, this episode is for you.

✅ Most of us never learned feeling words growing up, but we can still change that now

✅ Naming feelings stops meltdowns by giving kids (and parents) ways to say what's really going on

✅ Kids copy what we do. When we say our feelings out loud, they start doing it too

✅ Feeling words help us connect deeper and understand what's really behind bad behaviour

✅ A simple daily habit of saying your feelings out loud teaches kids to feel it, name it, and reframe it
