We have used big little feelings for potty training and just raising our two boys (5 and 2.5). It’s helped me put things into context on how their brains work and also mine due to the environment I was raised in. Helps me to remember how to calm my own body and mind before trying to respond to my children. The parent preference was a huge one in our household and this gave us the tools to work through that.

Haven’t taken that course but we found “how to talk so little kids will listen” a wonderful read. I’ve read lots of parenting books and this was the most straightforward. No fluff. Just lists what to do, why and a few simple stories to make it real. A quick read totally worth it

I haven’t seen the specific “big little feelings course” but FWIW, I have seen other studies/literature on how a lot of tantrums spawn from frustration of lack of control or misunderstood communications. We give them control/choices when we can and foresight to the day and sequence or timing of activities so they know what to expect and why and go slow to give them a chance to move in the right direction themselves (putting toys in containers, arms through sleeves, etc). We also worked hard on signing or focusing spoken words on some of the basics needs (eat, drink, milk, water, diaper, sleep). If we have tantrums, it’s often from wanting to continue doing something when we are out of time or play with something they shouldn’t. Discipline approaches vary by kid but are usually solved by redirection and consequences conditioning (eg if you throw sand, you lose the shovel or the sandbox play, throwing food means no more food, etc.). So far it’s working pretty well.

Depends on the tantrum and the environment. I’ll get low to speak close with my older, letting her sit on my knee or offer her a hug and talking it out about why she’s upset if she wants to or offering water/food. And I agree, stand firm on whatever you decided. If it’s really loud and I can escape, we go outside for a breather because some environments are higher stimulation to them than us adults. For my younger, he’s usually mad he can’t play with or do something that will hurt him so redirecting works well or leaving the area. For some stuff, like being mad about the car seat, it’s just something he has to cope with or we solve with food or water.

If you want to buy a parenting course I’d buy one from someone(s) better credentialed.

Looking for guidance. I’ve been in people manager roles (in director/senior leader capacity) for the last 5 years now, and prior to that I was a “rockstar” Project Manager. I’ve worked really hard to get to the position I’m in today, but I’ve been recently asked to move from my current role to a senior IC role to take on a highly visible Program for the company, with some very senior stakeholders. I feel conflicted as it does feel like I would be backtracking in many ways. Thoughts?
