After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings2 Syys

Your Hardest Parenting Questions, Answered: Part 2

Our last Q&A became our MOST-LISTENED-TO episode, so Besties: WE’RE BACK. You sent us your hardest parenting questions, and once again, we’re answering them all. Your kid was doing GREAT, and then school started and suddenly they’re melting down, fighting everything, and acting like a completely different person. Your three-year-old has turned absolutely feral since the new baby arrived. And what do you do when you KNOW you need therapy, but adding one more thing to your schedule feels literally impossible?

We cover:

Back-to-school meltdowns and why your kid suddenly seems like a completely different person

What’s actually happening when kids hold it together all day at school and completely fall apart at home

How to make the back-to-school transition easier (and why now might be the time to LOWER demands)

Why three-year-olds can feel absolutely feral, and the small shifts that can prevent some of the biggest daily power struggles

New sibling jealousy, meltdowns, and helping your older child adjust to a new baby

What to do when YOU are completely at capacity

How to make time for therapy when you literally do not have one more hour to give

The mindset shift that can completely change how you think about taking care of your own mental health

Plus:

Kristin is in an anxiety spiral, Deena is officially having a midlife crisis, we reveal what we’re watching right now (or why Kristin is watching absolutely fucking nothing), and somehow we land on spa baths as a legitimate mental health intervention. Basically: feral toddlers, back-to-school chaos, nervous systems, therapy, and the real-life strategies that will help your whole family get through this season with a little more ease.
