New York Times Bestseller The Future is Emotionally Intelligent From two early childhood experts, an essential guidebook that empowers parents to help their little ones navigate their big feelings—including tantrums, outbursts, and separation anxiety—while laying the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional intelligence.

We’re in the midst of a parenting revolution that is radically changing the way we raise our kids. Gone are the days of minimizing emotions: Don’t Cry. You’re Fine. Don’t Make a Scene. As our understanding of developing brains has increased, today’s parents are looking for a new way to help their children understand their feelings and learn to process them.

Emotional development experts Alyssa Blask Campbell, M.Ed. and Lauren Stauble M.S. are at the forefront of a movement to foster little ones’ emotional intelligence. Their revolutionary Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method has been a game changer for parents and educators, and now they are sharing it with readers in this indispensable guide.

Tiny Humans, Big Emotions provides the tools to tackle every sort of stressful child-rearing situation, including:

• What to do when your child throws a tantrum (it's not what you think!)

• Helpful scripts to handle any challenging moment like school refusal and bedtime resistance

• How to react when your child hits, punches, or bites

• Easy tips that help regulate your child’s nervous system

• How to anticipate and end meltdowns before they even begin

Designed for all humans—tiny and big—this book shows caregivers of children how to handle their children’s outbursts while empowering them to recognize and manage difficult feelings like anger, sadness, and shame, along with anxiety. All caregivers will find valuable insights and guidance in this book, especially those caring for children from infancy to age eight. Tiny Humans, Big Emotions equips adults with tools for emotional intelligence so they can respond with intention. This innovative, research-based approach teaches children self-regulation and empathy, even as it strengthens the parent-child relationship, setting the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional resilience and wellbeing.

This book is an essential, empathetic guide that will teach parents to notice their own habits and hold space for their tiny human's big emotions.

Loved this title. It provided so much insight into emotions and ways to regulate. I have found some many of these techniques helpful in relating to my two year but also have learned SO many things that I apply to myself. I see a difference in how we interact and how I go about my daily life.

A Must Read

You only have so much time to read so many books about parenting and for yourself if you’re an avid reader. Let this be one of them. It’s an incredibly encouraging book for you to navigate the emotional struggles of parenthood that we all face and that your little ones will face. I read this book when my daughter was 2 1/2 and I’m forever relieved that I did. You are an awesome parent and your toddler or child deserves the even more awesome parent that will benefit from reading this book. The Audible voice over makes the book better and so reassuring.

For me, the important take away was that these first few years are the most important and impactful in setting up an emotionally healthy, confident and mentally stable person. The way you talk to your babies right now will become their inner voice and that- I’m not a mean or angry Mom- knowledge empowered me to be a more present, loving, patient, and kind person to the only child I will have. My mess ups in parenting are mendable and so are yours. Being a good parent is hard and sometimes your frustration shows. This book is for YOU too.

This shouldn’t be the only parenting book you read, but it absolutely has to be one of them! Good luck, parents! I’m rooting for you!
