Parenting expert Rachel Bailey, armed with her extensive background in clinical psychology and hands-on experience as an ADHD coach, therapist, and mother, brings to light the profound understanding that children's big emotions are not just outbursts to be disciplined but signals to be decoded. Our discussion is an eye-opener, revealing how these emotional expressions, whether explosive or subdued, are pleas for help from kids grappling with heightened discomfort.

As we navigate the choppy waters of tween and teenage angst, Rachel imparts practical wisdom on the importance of parental composure. Discover how non-verbal cues play a monumental role in de-escalating conflicts and fostering a nurturing environment where emotional resilience can blossom. It's not about silencing the storm but guiding our children through it, offering them the tools to regulate their emotions and emerge stronger.

Learn the art of the "when-then" plan, a strategy to meet our children's challenging behaviors with intention rather than impulse. We talk about how to balance allowing our children, and ourselves, to sit with discomfort, a counterintuitive approach that paves the way for true emotional fortitude. Rachel's compassionate insights promise to empower both parents and children alike, turning tumultuous emotional journeys into pathways of personal growth and connection.
