Episode 41 Game Film Parenting: Fix Meltdowns at the Root


Listen Later

What if your hardest parenting moments could actually become your best teachers? In this episode, I walk you through her "Game Film" tool—how to pause, replay, and coach yourself through tough moments so you can show up calmer next time. Plus, I introduce the Root System so you stop chasing behaviors and start addressing what's really driving them.

Key Takeaways:

  • Stop chasing behavior: focus on the roots (body, brain, beliefs, boundaries, balance, belonging) instead of the "bad apples."
  • Game Film = growth: replay hard moments to spot what actually drove the meltdown and what to do differently.
  • Regulation first, always: hungry, tired, or dysregulated kids (and parents) can't access logic—meet the need before correcting.

Simple Script: "Pause—what does my child need right now? Food, rest, or help getting calm?"
