About this listen
Tantrums, meltdowns, and big feelings can make even the calmest parent feel overwhelmed. But here’s the truth: those outbursts aren’t “bad behavior.” They’re communication. In this episode of Sprout & Bloom, Alycia explains why children’s brains are not yet wired for emotional regulation, and how what looks like defiance is often a call for connection.
You’ll learn:
- 🌱 Why kids struggle to manage their big feelings on their own
- 💛 How to reframe tantrums as opportunities instead of failures
- ✨ A simple script you can use in the heat of the moment: “I see you. I’m here.”
Whether you’re parenting toddlers, preschoolers, or older kids, this episode will help you see emotional outbursts in a new light and respond with calm, confidence, and compassion.
