Listen Later

Ever find yourself face-to-face with a storming child—and your mind goes completely blank? You know you should stay calm, get curious, and connect… but in the heat of the moment, the only thing that comes out is “That’s it! I’ve had enough!”

In this powerful episode, Lisa shares the exact questions you can use when you're too overwhelmed to think clearly. You’ll hear a beautiful success story from a Hive member who shifted from chaos to calm (in just a week!), and you’ll walk away with tools you can use right away to handle meltdowns with confidence, curiosity, and compassion—even when your brain is shouting “panic!”


What You'll Learn:

  • Why your brain literally can’t think clearly during a parenting storm (and what to do instead)
  • A simple script to use when your child is melting down over "nothing"
  • The five categories of questions that help you connect and de-escalate
  • How to move from “power struggles” to problem-solving partnerships
  • What to do when you need a moment before responding
  • How to build a “cheat sheet” so you never freeze up again
