Then I discovered these three secrets to calming tantrums and meltdowns and life started to get a little easier.

3 Secrets to Calming Tantrums and Meltdowns

Of course, there is no “easy” button if you have a child that tantrums and meltdowns frequently. If you are at the beginning of this journey with a child that frequently explodes, it can feel so lonely and helpless. I am not saying that everything magically goes away if you get these secrets… however, I am telling you that you can start to see change! Not just with your child, but with you and your entire family!

I have spent the last month sharing a 3 part video series on Tantrums and Meltdowns. We looked at the difference between the two, what to do, say or avoid during them, and I even laid out an entire plan for getting to the bottom of tantrums and meltdowns.

Each part of this series included a blog post, a video, and a free download to make it easier for you to get the information you need, they way you enjoy best. Now that the series has ended, I wanted to put everything in one place for you, so that you can get all of the parts and have a place you can pin or save to come back to if you need it again…because let’s face it, change isn’t going to happen over night!

Here is a brief overview of each of the videos and the downloads available for you. You can click through to each section, or you can skip to the end and get all of the videos and downloads on one page with the instant access button at the bottom.
