What’s really going on inside your child’s mind!? Emotional behaviour/intelligence - with Emily, child psychologist

In our 144th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Emily from Playful Psychologist. Emily is a child psychologist, and we chat to her all about the buzz phrase at the moment, ‘emotional regulation’.

• What is classed as ‘normal’ behaviour versus behaviour we need to look a little more into?
• At what age can we teach emotional self-regulation techniques to a child?
• If our child is having a melt-down and they’re not listening, they’re shouting, you can’t talk to them, you can’t reason with them, what do we do?
• Are we to blame if our child is experiencing explosive behaviour?
• If our kids are saying things like, ‘I hate you’ or ‘you’re not my best friend anymore’, how should we react?
• Should we be putting our kids in timeout?
• How to manage the situation is your child is having a violent tantrum?
• What to do when your kids are harming themselves during a tantrum (e.g. headbutting the floor!)
• Do we need a diagnosis before seeing a child psychologist?
• And SO MUCH MORE!
