Why do young children have such big reactions to small things? Katie Thistleton and Guvna B explore what happens when big feelings take over.

Award-winning rapper and dad Tinie Tempah shares the unexpected things that have upset his children and reflects on staying calm, parenting in public and reconnecting after a difficult moment.

Clinical psychologist Dr Lucy Rigley explains what tantrums actually are, how to handle them and what they can tell us about a developing brain.
