Dealing with highly emotional kids

🎙 Behind Every Tantrum: What Your Child’s Brain Is Telling You

Have you ever stood in the middle of your child’s meltdown wondering, “What am I doing wrong?” You’re not alone—and you’re not failing.

In this powerful episode, I break down what’s really happening inside your child’s brain when emotions run high, and why those tantrums are often cries for connection—not defiance. Through the lens of brain science and lived experience as a solo mum to twin boys with developmental delays, I’ll walk you through the 4 key steps that have helped me regulate not just my children’s emotions—but my own.

You’ll learn:

• The brain science behind emotional outbursts (and why logic won’t work mid-meltdown)

• How to stay grounded as a mum when your child is losing control

• Simple co-regulation tools like breathing and respectful choices that actually work

• Why emotional processing starts with you—and how to model it in real time

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that behind every emotional storm is a child searching for safety—and you have the power to be their calm in the chaos.
