Listen Later

What's the earliest a kid starts to show a meltdown?
Is there any difference between meltdowns and tantrums?
Will you handle meltdowns differently at your house vs in public?
What are the strategies you can use to Prevent meltdowns from happening? 

Dr. Avirett is a Licensed Psychologist.  For the last decade, she has worked with children and young adults across the southwest for counseling and diagnostic evaluations. 
Dr. Avirett has been married for 15 years and has 3 children, ages 2, 9, and 11. Being a parent has given her fresh insight into the world of ever-evolving parenting challenges (e.g. the things they don’t ever teach in graduate school!) 
This, along with her clinical experience, leads her to work with families and guide parents toward positive and effective parenting strategies. 

This episode is FULL of examples and techniques of how to handle your everyday challenges with your kids. For more on this topic, check in the tantrums parenting guide (blog) and Mind & Child WEBSITE (90 minutes ONLY of online videos). And this is not an affiliation, I simply want you to have those reliable resources :-)
