The Secret to Helping Your Kids Notice Their Feelings Before They Explode
Jul 15, 2025
Hey there,
Ever try to help your kid with big emotions, only to get a blank stare when you ask, "How are you feeling?"
You’re not alone. And no, you’re not a “bad parent.” You’re dealing with real, complex emotions and your child is too.
In today’s video, I walk you through my Emotion Naming Scaffold Strategy which is a simple yet powerful 4-tiered approach to help your child recognize and name big emotions in real time.
Watch today's video, and you’ll learn:
-
How to scaffold your support in the moment so you’re not met with blank stares or bigger explosions
-
What to do if your child explodes too fast for any “in the moment” strategies (those kiddos who go 0-60 with their emotions)
-
Why this approach is about meeting your child where they are and not about controlling the behavior
Most importantly, being able to meet your child in the moment will allow you to help them better navigate these moments right now and plan for the future. So go ahead and watch today's video. You'll be so glad that you did.
All my best,
B.J.
