After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings13 Touko

Your Hardest Parenting Questions, Answered

Why does your toddler laugh when you’re disciplining them? What do you do when potty training completely falls apart? And how do you parent the kid who feels EVERYTHING bigger, louder, harder, and more intensely than everyone else? In this Q&A episode, we’re answering the parenting questions we hear constantly — the ones that leave even loving, thoughtful parents feeling overwhelmed, confused, triggered, and exhausted.

We cover:

- Potty training setbacks and resets

- Toddlers laughing during discipline

- Power struggles and boundary-setting

- “Big Feeler” highly sensitive kids and emotional intensity

- Sensory sensitivities and nervous system overwhelm

- Why some kids melt down over seemingly “small” things

- How to respond without escalating behavior

- The parenting sweet spot between permissive and punitive

Plus:

Kristin accidentally becomes an 8-year-old softball all-star coach, Deena gets emotionally taken out by standing in the wind for an hour, and both of us realize we may be the most millennial people alive. Basically: chaos, neuroscience, nervous systems, and parenting truths that will make you feel way less alone, and answer all of your parenting questions you need help with NOW.
