Becoming You

Mastering Meltdowns: Tools to Support You to Connect With Your Kid's Emotions


Listen Later

We all have moments in our family where we go head-to-head with our kids. We don't back down. They don't back down.

They don't listen. We try to explain, and then before you know it, everyone is yelling and fighting with each other, and everyone's just left feeling exhausted,

This episode has my 7-step process to help you regulate yourself and de-escalate the issue, and it really is a de-escalation. This is a true negotiation and conflict because disagreements like this are like you have been hijacked, it's what it feels like when your child is being defiant, not listening, or being disrespectful. Your entire evening and your mood and your energy levels are all being hijacked by your child or your children and their lack of respect and consideration.

Our job as a parent, Is to really try and connect with the emotion behind the outburst. Now, this is a real challenge - we ourselves have our own triggers and emotions to deal with, but we are ultimately the caregivers and it's upon us to model how to behave and help our children feel safe when they feel they're out of control and they're feeling powerless.

Tune in and start implementing the process, this will absolutely help you during the next outburst. Let me know what stood out to you.
