Minisode 1: Raising Boys

Welcome to the first edition of our minisode series - M’Kay, We Did It Again. We’ll be sprinkling these shorter episodes in between our regularly scheduled full-length episodes. These shorts will include sections of our conversations that we’re cute for time or to keep the content to the episode’s topic. This first minisode is cut from our third episode, S.A.D. in the PNW.

In both my personal and professional experience, I have learned that emotional intelligence truly is something you have to work on- and it is a constant learning process. Most humans really aren’t that great at recognizing their emotions and therefore can often have negative responses to other people and themselves. If you are interested in exploring your emotions to better learn how to not only navigate your own emotional intelligence but also helping your littles, check out Permission to Feel: Unlocking the Power of Emotions to Help Our Kids, Ourselves, and Our Society Thrive by Marc Brackett, Ph.D. Just starting with the right language can be a huge gamechanger!
