Episode 62: Empowering Children to Understand Their Emotions with Michelle Steffes

Music for The Soul Podcast

What if children and pre-teens had buttons and switches that allowed them to turn off or tone down negative emotions such as anger or hurt and turn up positive ones like love and compassion? How can we teach our children to understand not only the emotions they feel, but how to control them as well? We are so excited to welcome author and speaking, Michelle Steffes, as she walks us through the science of our emotions and how we can teach our children to be resilient in a post-pandemic world. Michelle shares her years of research into complex topics such as resilience, neuroscience, and emotional intelligence, and how each of these can be broken down into simple ideas that children and pre teens can grasp. We also talk about her book, The Machine Inside Me: How to change your brain and discover the power within you!, which we believe is an invaluable resource not only for parents of young children, but adults themselves into learning the how and why of emotional control.
