## Resource

Your kid finally learned to regulate their emotions... and then they turned 8 and it all fell apart. Sound familiar? In this episode, Eli sits down with Alyssa Campbell —co-author of the New York Times bestseller Tiny Humans, Big Feelings and her new book Big Kids, Bigger Feelings —to unpack why the pre-teen years hit so differently (and why your biases might be making it worse). They dive into: Why that "calm period" around age 6-7 doesn't last (and what's actually happening in your kid's brain) How to parent when your sensory needs are completely opposite your child's The difference between entitlement and dysregulation (spoiler: it's usually the second one) Why "attention-seeking" behavior is actually a need, not a want A free tool to understand your (and your kid's) unique nervous system Whether you have neurotypical or neurodivergent kids, this conversation will change how you see those eye rolls, door slams, and "attitudes."
