Ask the research
The questions parents ask. What the research says.
Short, cited answers written by our team from the developmental literature. Not advice, not a forum: the science, in plain words, and what emoGlow does with it.
Am I too strict, or too soft?
“My partner says I let things slide. I think they’re harsh. Is one of us right?”
How much should I help with homework?
“If I sit with him he gets it done. If I leave he stalls. Am I helping or making it worse?”
Should I let my child be upset, or fix it fast?
“When my daughter cries over small things, my instinct is to make it stop. Am I supposed to sit with it instead?”
Why am I exhausted when “nothing happened” today?
“I didn’t do anything hard. I remembered the field trip form, the dentist, the snack rota, the birthday gift. Why do I feel wrung out?”
Why does naming a feeling calm my child down?
“My six-year-old melts down and nothing I say helps. A teacher told me to “name the feeling.” Why would that work?”
