Episode notes

The holidays have a way of putting fairness front and center. Gifts, cousins, friends, and comparisons - all at once. In this special holiday bonus episode, we unpack what kids really mean when they say, “That’s not fair,” and what helps regulate emotions instead of escalating them. Grounded in developmental science, with practical language you can actually use during a busy, emotionally loaded season.
