What do you do when your family just doesn’t understand your child’s meltdowns? Or when you start wondering if it’s time to seek professional help?

In this powerful Season 2 kickoff of the Calm Connection Parenting Podcast, Jami answers two real questions from parents walking through emotional intensity, family tension, and the uncertainty of what’s “normal.”

If you’ve ever felt judged by family members who don’t get your child’s big emotions, or struggled to know when to talk with a doctor about your child’s behavior, this episode will help you find calm, confidence, and clarity.

Learn how to communicate effectively with family, recognize when behaviors might point to something deeper, and take practical next steps without fear or guilt.

Because you’re not alone in this, and calm, connected parenting is possible, even when life feels anything but calm.

✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How to handle family members who don’t understand your child’s meltdowns
• Gentle ways to set boundaries and communicate without conflict
• Signs your child might need professional support for emotions or behavior
• Tips for preparing to talk with doctors or therapists confidently
• Encouragement for parents navigating emotional dysregulation at home
