55: Riding the Emotional Wave and Teaching Emotional Intelligence to Our Kids with Dr. Tamara Soles

Working with kids can be challenging on the best days. That’s why I asked child psychologist and parenting coach Dr. Tamara Soles to join me this week. Tamara shares how we can help our tiny humans become strong, independent adults (and not get burned out as parents in the process!). When fostering good qualities in our kids, we usually don’t give them room to become independent or thought leaders.

Listen in to learn how to find the balance of autonomy for your kids, why teaching by example is essential, and how you can reduce how often your kids say no! Find out why we need to be aware of our own unexamined “no’s” and why flexibility and collaboration are vital for parenting success.
