About
Do you sometimes feel helpless as your little one has explosive emotions? Whether it’s a meltdown in the grocery store (we’ve all been there!) or a spirited toddler exerting their independence, young children experience the same anger and frustration as adults. But they aren’t equipped to handle these big, scary emotions. So, how can you help your child learn to understand and regulate these feelings?

Dr. Lauren Loquasto will be joined by the co-founders of Slumberkins, Kelly Oriard and Callie Christensen, to share how you can help your little ones navigate these emotions at home and at school (and the grocery store!).
