INFO:

Tantrums are overwhelming! Both to parents and to small children. But they are not choices our children are making. A choice involves a rational conscious decision. Tantrums are the exact opposite of that. They are reactions to highly overstimulating neurochemicals flooding a child’s nervous system. Our children need our help to regulate their bodies when this is happening. They need us to offer compassion, understanding and care (and to remove all the sharp objects from their possession!) When we move into a connected and receptive body state it helps them to borrow our calmness which helps them feel safe and enter a more regulated brain state. Easier said than done of course, especially if you never experienced secure attachment in your own childhood. ✨📽️For help in mastering your own calm response, I have a free webinar you can watch at https:u002Fu002Fattachmentnerd.comu002Ffree-webinars called “Mastering Your Calm, A Parent’s Guide to Co-Regulation”✨📽️ ❤️📖If you want help processing your own attachment patterns and learning secure attachment in your relationships go preorder my book: Securely Attached: Transform Your Attachment Patterns into Loving Lating Romantic Relationships” (it’s not just for romance…it will help with any close relationship where you give and receive care which will in turn help you be calmer with your kids!) ❤️📖
