Tantrums & Meltdowns? Scripts to Stop Them & De-Escalate #558

Your child’s face is red, eyes on fire, mouth spitting venomous words. He or she is no longer rational anymore, screaming at you. Time-outs and talking make it worse. But I don’t want you to dread it. I want you to look forward to this as a huge opportunity to hear your child screaming TO you, desperate for your help to learn how to control their own emotions. Kirk gives you specific scripts and action steps to turn meltdowns into bonding opportunities. **Our Valentine's Day Sale starts now at https://celebratecalm.com/products/.
