As a homeschooling mom (or parent in general) I encounter hundreds of meltdowns between my 3 kids and if I’m honest, it is EXHAUSTING.
Over the years I realized that I didn’t like how I reacted when my kids would meltdown. I felt like I couldn’t meet them emotionally, and in fact I would shutdown and disconnect, just hoping the screaming or crying would stop. I wasn’t able to help them healthily deal with their emotions.
If you’d like to hear a method for how to engage compassionately with your kids when they meltdown (which I have found actually calms and addresses the meltdowns more effectively) watch this video where I break it all down into 4 steps.
As mentioned in this video, here is the link to get the PDF that details out this method for those who are more visual or would like something you can print and revisit.

Here’s our life/parent coach Amy Ferrell’s email. You can email her directly or message me and I can give more details about who she is and what our times with her have looked like. She’s gold!

I hope this will be as helpful for you as it has been for me! Connecting with our kids and their strong emotions is so valuable and worth the effort!
