Raised Resilient: Help Your Highly Sensitive Child

What Should I Do When My Child is Having a Meltdown? 3 Pieces of Bad Advice (& What to do Instead!)


Listen Later

Navigating children’s meltdowns is one of the most challenging parts of parenting. It can be so hard to know how to respond when a child is screaming, throwing toys, hitting, kicking, crying, and unable to access logical reasoning. And because meltdowns are so challenging, there’s no shortage of advice on how to handle them … but not all of this advice is good! 

 

In this week’s episode, I share 3 pieces of bad advice most of us have probably gotten when it comes to navigating children’s meltdowns. I share why these ideas are bad advice and what we can do instead.

 

Here’s the thing: Meltdowns are a normal, healthy part of childhood; all kids have them, and that’s a good thing! And when you know how to respond to your child’s meltdowns, you can feel confident and calm instead of overwhelmed and lost in these tough parenting moments.
