121: The Secret to Raising Cooperative, Emotionally Resilient Kids
Fri Feb 06 2026
Psst... Scroll for the link to my book on emotionally intelligent parenting!
What if parenting didnāt have to rely on punishment, guilt, or constant power struggles? Yep. Really.
Today I'm actually the one being interviewed! My friend Amy Nesbitt had me on her podcast, Whole Wellness Mamas, and we unpacked what emotional intelligence parenting really means, and why itās so different from the old-school approaches many of us were raised with. This is the conversation you get to hear today!
Amy and I talk about:
Why punishing ābad behaviourā is SO outdated, and what actually helps kids become cooperativeHow honouring childrenās emotions builds connection, trust, and resilienceWhat it looks like to model emotional regulation instead of expecting kids to ājust calm downāThe power of rupture and repair, taking responsibility, apologising, and rebuilding connectionWhy emotional intelligence parenting takes intention and discipline, but works for so many familiesHow parents can start noticing their own emotional cycles BEFORE reactingExpanding your emotional vocabulary so you can respond, not explode
LINK FOR MY BOOK: If this way of thinking resonates, my book on Amazon goes deeper into these ideas ā emotional intelligence as the foundation for calmer, more connected parenting. Think of it as a companion to this conversation. š Find my book From Chaos To Connection by Stephanie Pinto on Amazon here!
