If your child's meltdowns hit you harder than you expect, this talk with Laura Froyen looks at where that comes from. It explains inner child work in plain terms for parents and teachers of young children, and where it meets everyday life, from relearning how to play to holding a boundary without guilt. Three easy ways to connect with your inner child come up too. It also covers what to do when this work feels heavy, including trauma and getting support.
