This week we’re talking all about tantrums and what’s really going on beneath them. We start with a few life updates including making our own cream-top coffee at home (and the cups we love from Elk & Friends) and Emily’s latest obsession with Dubai chocolate. Then we dive into a real-life parenting moment when Natasha helped a friend navigate her four-year-old’s meltdown and what it revealed about how kids process big emotions.From there, we break down practical ways to prevent tantrums before they start including preparing the night before, recognizing that different kids need different approaches, and how to handle older kids who may show their frustration through defiance. We also talk about the surprising lessons these moments teach us about ourselves as parents, the importance of modeling how to calm our own bodies, and how the environment in a child’s bedroom can actually influence behavior and emotional regulation.Links:Dubai chocolates - https://amzn.to/4lzsQ8QIrish soda bread - https://www.wowbakesla.com/shop/8o9q3co15z1lo26fgizex9vyg0yurd
