In our 144th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Emily from Playful Psychologist. Emily is a child psychologist, and we chat to her all about the buzz phrase at the moment, ‘emotional regulation’.
What is classed as ‘normal’ behaviour versus behaviour we need to look a little more into?
At what age can we teach emotional self-regulation techniques to a child?
If our child is having a melt-down and they’re not listening, they’re shouting, you can’t talk to them, you can’t reason with them, what do we do?
Are we to blame if our child is experiencing explosive behaviour?
If our kids are saying things like, ‘I hate you’ or ‘you’re not my best friend anymore’, how should we react?
Should we be putting our kids in timeout?
How to manage the situation is your child is having a violent tantrum?
What to do when your kids are harming themselves during a tantrum (e.g. headbutting the floor!)
Do we need a diagnosis before seeing a child psychologist?
And SO MUCH MORE!

You can’t say we aren’t punctual… 
What are you talking about? We’re never punctual…
Okay let's make an exception today because we’re here to talk about ergoPouch’s new Spring Summer 22 range that launches…. this Thursday! 
Oh that is impressive, as is the range!! 
Yep, ergoPouch is a company that is trusted by sooo many parents as they make incredible quality, certified organic and natural fibre TOG-rated sleepwear! 
Yep all our kids have loved them, whether that's the sleep suits when they were newborns or the onesies with the legs as they have gotten older, all their pieces are stylish and gorgeous while also being safe and ergonomically designed. 
This collection has you yearning for warmer days inspired by the garden, with flowers in bloom and the cutest little critters. 
Yeah Yumi absolutely loves the buzzing bee print, and I love it cause it means she buzzes off to bed 
Haha, my girls have OF COURSE been loving the butterfly print. And keeping them warm has been great in getting them to sleep in that bit longer once they kick the blankets off. 
If you want to check out the beautiful new garden party collection or any of ergoPouch’s other products, head to ergopouch.com.au this Thursday.
