Welcome back to Ask Ready or Not! It’s Ready or Not’s tip-based episode, landing in your ears every Friday.

If you’ve ever found yourself whisper-yelling at a toddler in Coles, this one’s for you. Loz chats with Charlotte Wilson, teacher, mindfulness coach and founder of The Happinest, about what to actually do when your child has a meltdown (and how to keep your cool while it’s happening).

Charlotte shares practical, real-world tools for handling tantrums in public, what to say when your child screams “I hate you!”, and how to raise emotionally resilient kids without resorting to yelling. You’ll learn the simple acronym she swears by - RAIN -  and why connection before correction really does work.
