It’s easy to slip into “fix-it” mode when our kids are feeling big emotions—especially when those emotions feel overwhelming or inconvenient.

Ever been in one of those moments where your sensitive child is falling apart—and all you can do is sit in the mess with them? This podcast episode is for you.
