When our children are struggling with their emotions, their behaviors can be frustrating, heartbreaking, and even frightening. Knowing how to respond effectively in those instances can be tricky. Cherilyn Orr shares the Stoplight approach to assessing your child's brain state during an emotional episode, and also offers specific responses tailored to meet their needs in these difficult times. She also describes how this tool can be helpful for our own well-being, and discusses the importance of our own emotional regulation to the overall health of our households.
