Your child doesn’t need to care less about winning. They need help managing what happens in their body when they lose. When a competitive kid struggles with disappointment, it’s not their ego, it’s a dysregulated nervous system. Their brain perceives the loss as a threat to connection, safety, or identity, and their big reaction is their body asking for help. We don’t want to shut that down. We want to teach them how to ride the wave of frustration, without getting swept away. That’s emotional regulation. And it’s a skill that’s built, not born. 💡 In Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, I break down what’s really happening beneath the surface when your child melts down after a loss, and give you the tools to help them recover with resilience and connection. If you’ve got a competitive kid with big feelings, I wrote this book for you. Comment: BOOK and I’ll send you the preorder link!
