Why You Give In, Shout, or Convince — and What to Try Instead
Why You Give In, Shout, or Convince — and What to Try Instead
In this gentle but deeply honest episode, Emma explores what really happens when you give in, try to convince, or want to walk away during your child’s big emotions — and why it’s not a failure of love or patience.
You’ll hear two stories of mums who reached their emotional limit in different ways — one through a physical overwhelm response, the other through quiet surrender at bedtime — and how both found their way back to connection, without shame.
This isn’t about pushing through. It’s about understanding your nervous system, reclaiming your presence, and learning how to step away without stepping out of relationship.
