Navigating Big Feelings In Public

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

I often discuss the importance of allowing children to experience and express their emotions, however, what should we do when our children have these emotional outbursts in public places, like a tantrum at the mall, in line at the supermarket, or even worse, in the middle of a flight? Today, I would like to share how I handle these situations, and spoiler alert… much of it involves releasing any concern about the opinions of others.
