Big Feelings, Brave Parents

A Guide to Nurturing Resilience, Building Emotional Intelligence, and Creating Lasting Connections with Children


Parenting isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about showing up with love, even when emotions run high and the path forward feels unclear. Big Feelings, Brave Parents is a heartfelt and practical guide for caregivers who are doing their best to support children through big, overwhelming emotions. Jaleen is a parent, early childhood educator, life coach, and shaman, who offers real-world strategies, personal stories, and kind, honest encouragement every parent needs when they’re in the thick of it. If your child experiences intense feelings like meltdowns, anxiety, anger, sensory sensitivities, or shutdowns, you’re not alone, and you’re not failing. This book will help you:
- Understand what’s really going on beneath your child’s behavior
- Regulate your own nervous system so you can respond instead of react
- Communicate with empathy, clarity, and connection
- Support your child through emotional dysregulation with confidence
- Build a foundation of trust and resilience, even in the most challenging moments

Grounded in trauma-informed care, nervous system science, and deep empathy, Big Feelings, Brave Parents doesn’t offer quick fixes or unrealistic expectations. Instead, it invites you to slow down, tune in, and lead with presence. This is not a book about perfection. It’s a book about brave, imperfect love. Whether you're a parent, foster parent, educator, caregiver, grandparent, coach, or someone who supports children, this book will meet you where you are with warmth, understanding, and tools you can use immediately. In a world full of pressure and noise, Big Feelings, Brave Parents is a reminder that your calm is powerful, your love is enough, and your presence is the most important thing you bring to the table.
