Description

Today we're answering listener questions about a common parenting challenge: how to respond when your child becomes hyper-focused on YOUR emotions.


We explore:



  • Why preschoolers suddenly become aware of and fixated on their parents' feelings

  • Navigating situations where your child witnesses your sadness or stress

  • The dangers of leaning on your child for emotional support and healthier alternatives

  • The importance of modeling healthy emotional regulation

  • How to reassure your child while setting boundaries around emotional responsibility


Discover practical strategies to nurture your child's emotional intelligence while maintaining your role as the caregiver in the relationship.
