Tantrums, Anxiety & Big Emotions: What Your Child’s Nervous System Is Trying to Tell You with Dr. Roseann

This week, we sit down with Dr. Roseann for an eye-opening conversation about child nervous system regulation, tantrums, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, behavioral issues, and the big emotions that can feel overwhelming for both kids and parents. She explains what is actually happening in your child’s brain and body during a meltdown, what is normal toddler behavior versus when it may be time to seek additional support, and what parents can do in the first 30 seconds of a tantrum to help de-escalate the moment. We also talk about how to regulate yourself when your child is dysregulated, why certain behaviors can feel so triggering as a parent, and practical tools to help your child feel safe, connected, and understood. Plus, we share personal stories from our own parenting journeys. Whether you are parenting a toddler with frequent tantrums, a highly sensitive child, or a child dealing with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or intense emotions, this episode is full of practical, calming, real-life parenting advice you will want to come back to.
