How to Handle a Tantrum (So You Don’t Have One Too 😊) - EP. 9

Tantrums. We’ve all been there—whether it’s our child losing it over a Lego piece that won’t fit or us on the verge of our own meltdown after a long, exhausting day. But what if we shifted our perspective? In this episode, I take you inside a real-life parenting moment with my son—a day that started with one less spoon, built up through small struggles, and ended with a moment of deep connection. You’ll hear how I navigated emotional overwhelm, unexpected triggers, and my own frustration, and how staying present helped turn a potential disaster into a bonding experience. We’ll cover:✅ Why tantrums aren’t about “bad behavior” but big emotions that need support✅ The importance of self-regulation before co-regulation✅ How small stressors build up throughout the day—and how to recognize them✅ Why repair matters more than perfection in parenting ✨ If you’ve ever found yourself out of patience and out of spoons, this episode is for you. And if it resonated with you, pass it along to another parent who might need it. We’re all in this together! 💛 Let’s shift from correction to connection—together. 🎧 Listen now! ✨ Connect with me:• ⁠⁠⁠Breathe Easy Parenting⁠⁠⁠• Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@breatheeasyparenting⁠⁠⁠ Let’s celebrate progress together—subscribe, share, review and breathe easy! 🌟 Spoon Theory was created by Christine Miserandino, a writer and advocate for chronic illness, particularly lupus.
