The Expat Mom Podcast
This is a podcast for expat moms who want to improve their emotional health as they navigate the unique challenges of living and mothering abroad. Each episode shares one tool, idea or perspective shift you can apply immediately to your life and your family. I'm a certified life coach, an expat mom of 4 daughters, and married to a US diplomat. I’ve been abroad many of the last 20 years; I’ve lived on four continents, and in six different countries. I know what it’s like to be stuck emotionally and I know how to get unstuck. This podcast will show you how.

Emotion Coaching Kids Part 3: Five Steps to Help Kids Through Big Emotions
Studies show that kids’ emotional success is much less dependent on the quantity of difficult things that happen to them and much more on their experience with them. As parents, we can’t always control what happens to our kids—nor would we want to. But we can control how we support our kids through whatever does happen. And, this support piece is much more powerful to their emotional health anyway. On this episode we break down the “how-to” of emotion coaching. We discuss five simple steps to walk your child through a big emotion. This is the third in a series on emotion coaching kids. If you haven’t listened to episode #137-#138—those are helpful precursers to this episode.
On this episode you’ll learn:
- The five steps to emotion coaching
- How to help your kids feel understood but still set limits and move forward
- If emotion coaching can be used for positive emotions
- Practical applications and examples for emotion coaching for young kids and teens
