Fresh Start Family ShowShow Notes
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.
