You’ve Got This - With Zazi and Tess, Speech Therapists

• Season 2 Episode #14: How to Handle Tantrums Over Losing or Not Getting What They Want

  This week, we’re answering a question from Tessa’s sister-in-law, who’s raising three neurodivergent kids and asked what to do when your child completely loses it – whether it’s from not winning a game or walking out of a shop without the thing they had their heart set on. Zazi shares what it actually looks like when your kid melts down in the toy aisle (and you're just trying to hold it together), and we both talk through the messy reality of helping kids handle disappointment when it feels massive to them and exhausting for us. We’re not here with perfect scripts – just real strategies we’ve used ourselves, why these situations are so hard for kids (especially neurodivergent ones), and how to support them without giving in or feeling like the worst parent alive.

• Season 2 Episode #12: Why Your Child Keeps Biting Their Nails (and What to Do About It)

  In this episode, we dig into the curious (and kind of gross) world of nail-biting. Is it just a quirky habit or a secret sign of stress? We’ll chew over the science behind why kids do it, what it might mean, and most importantly—how to help them stop without turning into the Nail Police.  Come find us on Instagram at @youvegotthispodcast

• Season 2 Episode #11: How to Build Your Child’s Literacy Skills Without a Single Worksheet

  Feeling the pressure about your child’s handwriting or spelling before they start school? You're not alone. In this episode, we unpack some of the biggest misconceptions in early education including what your child needs to know before going to school and why handwriting is not the holy grail of literacy. We explore how oral language is the true foundation of literacy and why forcing handwriting early can actually hold kids back. Like what you hear?

• Season 2 Episode #10: Childhood Regressions: What’s Normal, What’s Not, & When to Worry

  Your child was sleeping through, eating like a champ, chatting away... and now it feels like everything’s gone backwards. Welcome to the messy middle of childhood development: regression. In this episode, we unpack the why behind regressions in language, sleep, feeding and play. We explore what’s developmentally typical, what’s often triggered by stress, change or growth, and what might be a red flag worth following up. We’ll share real-life examples, explain why some regressions are actually a sign of progress, and offer reassurance for when things feel chaotic. Plus, we’ll give you practical ways to support your child (and yourself) through the wobbles – without panic or pressure. Because going backwards isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes it’s just a child’s nervous system asking for a little extra safety on the way forward.
