My Response to the Viral Mom Hack Where You Shout a Random Person's Name During Your Child's Tantrum

If you've never heard of this "hack" it's spreading around social media like wildfire...the idea is that when your toddler/young child is having a meltdown you start shouting a random name and this distracts your child out of the meltdown. Listen in as I share why I do NOT recommend this. I dive into reason's why that specifically relate to your child's development and emotional processing. I also share what might be happening for you as the parent if you find yourself doing this (or using other distraction methods) and what to do about it.   Wanting more support? https://linktr.ee/chaos.to.connected   The Calm Mom Club Waitlist: https://chaostoconnected.myflodesk.com/waitlist   Ep on Why Crying is Important: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chaos-to-connected-helping-parents-navigate-challenging/id1609008872?i=1000554474011   Wondering about something related to your child's behaviors, emotions, meltdowns and/or your own triggers?
