Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 2026 flu update with Dr Nigel Crawford
Q: Do we really need to get vaccinated every year? Why not rely on last year's protection?
Flu changes each year, so the vaccine is updated to match circulating strains; a yearly dose provides ongoing protection and builds immune memory, which helps maximize protection against current strains.
Big feelings in little people with Dr Tamera Clancy
Q: What should I do if my child is lying repeatedly?
Recognize the function of the lie, stay curious, and repair after the incident. Encourage honesty by creating a safe environment to tell the truth, and model accountability and compassionate responses rather than harsh punishment.
Big feelings in little people with Dr Tamera Clancy
Q: What strategies work when a child cannot access language in the moment?
Get down to their level, acknowledge what you see, name the emotion, and offer a simple, concrete next step. This helps them know they're heard and supported, and it teaches them to discuss feelings once the moment passes.
Big feelings in little people with Dr Tamera Clancy
Q: How do I manage their big feelings without becoming overwhelmed myself?
Becoming calm and regulated yourself is crucial. Co-regulate by slowing down, using a calm voice, fewer words, and focusing on connection rather than forcing strategies during the peak moment; then reset together once things are calmer.
Big feelings in little people with Dr Tamera Clancy
Q: How can I tell the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown?
A tantrum shows some capacity to respond and awareness of surroundings, while a meltdown is when the nervous system is overwhelmed and the child can't take in new information or respond to guidance. In both cases, staying present, ensuring safety, and using simple language are key, with more detailed teaching saved for after things have calmed.
