Transcripts
Have you ever seen a child completely lose it in public…and felt every pair of eyes turn toward you —
In the meantime, your heart starts racing, your mind shouting, “Please… not here.”
But what if I told you… that tantrum is not a misbehavior —it is an emotional hunger?
So, to connect the dots — in our last episode, we talked about the surprisingly tricky side of praise — how saying “good job” too often can actually backfire, slowly chipping away at your child’s inner motivation and sense of self.
And today… we’re diving even deeper. Because behind every tantrum — especially those loud, messy, public ones —
lies a hidden emotional need your child is trying to feed.
So next, I’m taking you inside a story that changed everything for me.
It happened in the produce aisle at Whole Foods —
and what I witnessed that day completely reframed how I see tantrums.
You see, it’s not about control. It’s not even about behavior.
It’s about connection. So if you’ve ever walked out of a store feeling defeated,
wondering why your calm slipped away so fast, you will not want to miss the next episode.
Because once you understand the hidden emotional hunger behind your child’s meltdowns,
you’ll never look at tantrums the same way again.
