Emotional Intelligence: Fostering it in Our Children

This week, Dr. Tracy sits down with Alyssa Blask Campbell, parent, teacher, emotional development expert, and CEO of Seed and Sew, and together, they delve into the realm of children's emotional intelligence. Alyssa shares her journey into this field, driven by the need for personalized approaches to regulating children's emotions when she recognized that all of the resources out there were often crafted as a “one size fits all” approach. She shares her work creating the Collaborative Emotional Processing (CEP) method, emphasizing sensory mismatches, the impact of parental shame, and the importance of allowing children to experience various emotions safely. Together, they highlight the significance of equipping children with emotional processing tools and supporting them through challenging experiences that will help them not only when they are young but as they grow into adulthood. Lastly, they discuss the significance of setting boundaries and understanding consequences in the context of a child's growth and the development of their emotional intelligence skills.     Today’s topics include:  The need for personalized approaches to regulate children's emotions  Introduction of the Collaborative Emotional Processing (CEP) method  Emphasis on sensory mismatches and understanding children's unique needs  The impact of parental shame  The Importance of allowing children to safely experience a range of emotions  Equipping children with tools for emotional processing  Supporting children during challenging experiences  You can find Alyssa Blask Cambell on Instagram, on her website, and listen to her podcast!    You can now order my new book “I Didn’t Sign Up for This” here!  Looking for more?
