Dec 13 2023 • 30 mins

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Today we continue the exploration of the "Mission Control: A Big Feelings Adventure" series with author Nan Arkwright. In Part 2/3 we learn about emotional regulation and Nan introduces us to the characters in the book.

Nan defines emotional regulation as the ability to control one's emotions and manage reactions to feelings, emphasizing its importance for mental health. The discussion explores the challenges both children and adults face in managing emotions, including difficulties with disappointments, impulsivity, and stress reactions. The book provides practical examples of how parents can model emotional regulation, particularly in bedtime scenarios.

Join us for the final part of the series in the next episode, where we'll explore empowering children through problem-solving and Pro Social Skills.
