Talking Makes Tantrums WORSE. Do THIS Instead.
✨ Ready to move beyond what to do during a toddler tantrum — and what to stop doing? → drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop
Knowing what to do during a toddler tantrum is one of the most common questions parents search — and most of the instinctive answers make tantrums last longer. In this video, Dr. Lindsay Emmerson explains why the Escalation Loop runs on parental engagement, and gives parents the three-step approach that actually breaks it. Most toddler tantrum advice focuses on what to say. This video focuses on what to stop doing — and why the absence of engagement, paired with a regulated parental presence, is the most effective response available.
In this video: → • Why explaining, validating, negotiating, and getting firmer all make tantrums worse — not better • The neurological reason toddlers can't hear you during peak emotional flooding • What the Escalation Loop is and why parental engagement keeps it running • The three-step approach: stop engaging, regulate yourself, wait for the arc to complete • Two scripted before-and-after examples (ages 2 and 4, including a public tantrum) • The extinction burst: why tantrums get worse before they get better — and why that's a sign it's working 🎓 Go deeper on parent self-regulation in the free workshop: 👉 drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop 💬 Comment CALM below if this is what you're working toward. I read every single one. 💛
