How Generation Mindful Tools Turn Tantrums into Teaching Moments with Suzanne Tucker
What if you could replace timeouts with a more effective approach that actually strengthens your connection with your child? Generation Mindful founder Suzanne Tucker joins me to explore the revolutionary "time-in" approach that's changing how parents respond to big emotions.
As a mom of four who grew up in a "happy-happy" household, Suzanne will share how her own trauma and loss led her to create tools that give both children and parents permission to feel all emotions. You'll hear practical ways to implement emotional literacy in your home, from simple card games to creating dedicated calming spaces. Suzanne will explain why traditional timeouts can actually reinforce shame, while time-ins build emotional intelligence that lasts a lifetime. This conversation offers a refreshing perspective for any parent who's felt overwhelmed by tantrums or worried they're "doing it wrong."
So if you've ever struggled to handle your child's big feelings (or your own), this episode will give you the roadmap to more peaceful, connected parenting without expecting perfection from yourself or your child.
