Big Kids, Bigger Feelings: How to Help Your Child Handle Emotions, Set Boundaries, and Build Emotional Strength with Alyssa Blask Campbell

In this episode, Wendy welcomes back Alyssa Blask Campbell, bestselling author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions and Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, for a powerful conversation about helping older kids build emotional strength, navigate boundaries, and move through big feelings with support.

Alyssa shares why middle childhood is often overlooked, even though elementary-age kids are still developing major emotional regulation skills. Together, Wendy and Alyssa talk about why parents don’t need to fix every hard feeling, how co-regulation still matters as kids grow, and why strong boundaries help children feel safe when they’re offered with calm, clarity, and respect.
