Summary

Parenting doesn’t magically get “easier” once kids are past the toddler years—and Alyssa Blask Campbell wants us to stop pretending it does. The bestselling author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions is back with her new book Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, a guide to navigating the rollercoaster of the elementary school years—when kids are “too old for tantrums, but too young for teen drama.” Alyssa joins Mosheh to break down why these years matter so much for building resilience, empathy, and emotional intelligence. She explains how parents can act as “emotional detectives” to uncover what’s really driving behavior, the difference between respect and obedience, and why our own self-regulation as adults is the model our children will copy. We also dig into practical, everyday dilemmas: how to handle screen time and peer pressure, what to do when your child lies, and how to respond to difficult emotions like sadness and anger. Plus—the often-overlooked role of diet, sleep, and nervous system regulation in shaping behavior.Alyssa also shares insights from her Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method, and why teaching kids to manage their feelings is the single greatest gift parents can give. 🐝 This podcast was recorded from the Mo News office at ⁠⁠Industrious at Midtown on 50th St.⁠⁠ Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel.
