Why Kids Don’t Listen During Tantrums

No items found.

When we see our children in emotional pain we want to help. And we often see the lesson that would have prevented the pain.

Regulate your body and offer calming compassion and when you see their body take a shuddery release breath, give it a few more minutes....then talk about the idea or insight you think will help.
