Summary

Ever wonder what’s happening inside your child’s mind when big feelings take over? In this episode, Lindsey chats with Alyssa Campbell, emotional development expert, coauthor of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions, and CEO of Seed & Sew. This is your roadmap to raising conscious kids. Ahead, Alyssa illuminates the magical (and often misunderstood) “big kid” years—ages 5 to 12—revealing why this stage is so pivotal for lifelong emotional intelligence. She shares practical wisdom + tender stories, helping parents move out of survival mode and into true connection. If you’re on a mission to raise emotionally healthy kids, Alyssa unpacks the role of nervous system health + explains why self-awareness is a parent’s greatest superpower. She also shares simple tools for regulation, real-talk on parenting flops, and how to bring more compassion into daily life. We also talk about: The nine senses that shape how we experience the world Why “big kids” (5-12) have more feelings than you think Decoding your child’s AND your own sensory sensitivities Therapists’ top tips for nervous system regulation Relationship rituals that supercharge your self-care Technology, screen time, and healthy tech habits Why it’s never too late to reparent yourself Game-changing tools for emotional resilience How parents can use Collaborative Emotion Processing Empowering your kids to process big feels Resources: Website: https://www.seedandsew.org/ Book: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/big-kids-bigger-feelings-alyssa-blask-campbellrachel-stuart-lounder?variant=43408468377634 Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.
