Tiny Humans, Big Emotions : How to Navigate Tantrums, Meltdowns, and Defiance to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children

小小人類，卻有著大大情緒，這是一本協助家長處理孩子強烈情緒，如耍賴，暴哭暴怒或是分離焦慮的寶典。結合了個教育專家的建議，讓孩子學習受用一生的情緒學習法。

未來是情緒智慧的時代

童年充滿了歡樂，但也充滿了眼淚。擦傷的膝蓋、受傷的自尊、脾氣發作。當我們還是孩子的時候，可能被告誡要壓抑或忽視自己的情緒：不要哭，沒什麼大不了的，冷靜下來。儘管這種教育方式出於好意，但它並未讓我們真正理解為什麼會有這些情緒，也沒教我們如何應對強烈的情緒。作為家長的我們，往往會忘記三歲的孩子可能還需要我們幫忙穿上外套，但我們卻期望他們自己能管理強烈的情緒。

隨著科學不斷拓展我們對大腦發展的理解，我們如今比以往任何時候都更加明白，培養能夠處理童年以及生活中各種挑戰性情緒的情緒智慧孩子有多麼重要。

早期教育專家Alyssa Campbell和Lauren Stauble走在育兒與教育革命的前沿，致力於幫助家長培養這一關鍵技能，他們的合作情緒處理（CEP）方法已經證明是行之有效的。這本創新書籍專為處於嬰幼兒階段的孩子設計，這些年齡段的孩子往往擁有最強烈的情緒。

書中教導家長如何處理孩子的情緒爆發，同時幫助孩子識別並管理憤怒、悲傷、羞愧及焦慮等困難情緒，並提供應對各種育兒壓力時刻的工具，內容包括：
- 當孩子發脾氣時該如何處理（這可不是你想的那樣！）
- 當孩子打人、拳打腳踢或咬人時該如何反應
- 如何在當下調節孩子的神經系統
- 如何預測並在崩潰發生前化解情緒風暴

《Tiny Humans, Big Emotions》是一本充滿同理心且親和力十足的家長指南，幫助家長與孩子共同培養自我調節和同理心，為孩子的一生建立情緒韌性和幸福感。

From two early childhood experts, an essential guidebook that empowers parents to help their little ones navigate their big feelings—including tantrums, outbursts, and separation anxiety—while laying the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional intelligence.

The Future is Emotionally Intelligent
Childhood is filled with wonder—and also lots of tears. Scraped knees. Bruised egos. Tantrums. As children, we may have been taught to minimize or bury our emotions: Don’t cry. It’s not a big deal. Calm down. Though well intentioned, this parenting approach didn’t give us any actual understanding of why we feel what we feel and how to handle big emotions. As parents ourselves, we can forget that three-year-olds can zip their own jackets so we do it for them, and yet we still expect them to manage strong emotions by themselves.

As science expands our understanding of the developing brain, we know—now more than ever before—how important it is to raise emotionally intelligent children who are able to navigate all of the challenging feelings that come with childhood, and life.
Early childhood experts Alyssa Campbell and Lauren Stauble are at the forefront of a parenting and education revolution to help foster this essential skillset with their proven Collaborative Emotional Processing (CEP) method. Designed for the tricky infant and toddler years when the tiniest humans have some of the biggest emotions, this innovative book shows parents how to handle their children’s outbursts while empowering their children to recognize and manage difficult feelings like anger, sadness, and shame, as well as anxiety. It provides the tools to tackle every sort of stressful parenting moment, including:
What to do when your child throws a tantrum (it’s not what you think!)
How to react when your child hits, punches, or bites
How to regulate your child’s nervous system in the moment
How to anticipate and end meltdowns before they even begin

Tiny Humans, Big Emotions is an empathetic, parent-friendly guide to cultivating self-regulation and empathy with your little one, setting the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional resilience and wellbeing.
