All parents feel stress, and so do little ones. Toddler tantrums or fussiness in babies can seem like misbehavior, but they’re very often the result of a child dealing with more stress than they can handle. In this episode of FTF\u2019s pArentZ pod<\/a>, we talk about stress in young children with Susan Hopkins<\/strong>, an expert in self-regulation, and about how parents can recognize the signs of excessive stress in young children and help their little ones through the big emotions that come with it. We\u2019ll also talk about how important it is for parents to regulate their own stress levels.<\/p>\n Dr. Susan Hopkins is the executive director of The MEHRIT Centre, an educational organization based in Canada. She was also a featured speaker at the 2018 First Things First Early Childhood Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n
