Have you found yourself in the whirlwind of a public meltdown with your child? Its tough, isnt it? That moment can trigger a torrent of emotions—embarrassment, frustration, and a sense of being overwhelmed. Thoughts rush in like, What are others thinking? or I need to regain control.

Lets reframe these thoughts with some thought swaps:

🟢My childs meltdown is a sign of distress, not a reflection of my parenting.
🟢I can stay calm and composed even in challenging situations.
🟢Understanding and empathy can help us both through this.
🟢I can focus on my childs needs while managing my own emotions.

Feeling judged or anxious about how others perceive the situation is normal. But remember, your childs behavior is their way of communicating something deeper. By responding with empathy and keeping your composure, you can address their needs more effectively.

Which of these thought swaps resonates with you as you navigate through your childs public meltdown?

Need more strategies and support? Comment swap, and Ill be here to connect with you.

Here’s your permission:
Cross something off your (way too long) to do list today.

Let go of what isn’t serving you and your family.

Keep taking those small steps,
and embracing progress over perfection.

Hey parents out there, just a reminder:

Youre exactly what your child needs!

Remember, theres nothing wrong with you or your child.

Each behavior, as puzzling as it may seem, has its own reasons.

Lean into understanding these moments with curiosity instead of doubt or shame.

Youre not just managing behaviors; youre nurturing a deeper understanding and connection.

Your love and insight are making a world of difference!

Keep believing in yourself and your child.

And never forget - youve got this!

Check out this weeks podcast interview to discover how important your own balance is in supporting your challenging kids.

My guest is Robyn Gobbel, MSW (@robyn.gobbel).

She used to be a social worker and now helps parents understand their kids better, especially those dealing with really tough stuff like trauma or confusing behaviors.

Unpopular opinion: tantrums are NOT attention seeking. When we look at them as such we ignore what’s really going on and how to meet our kids where they are and what they need. First and foremost, kids need help feeling safe and secure before we can expect them to “regulate”.

I can help you reframe your thinking
And reframe the behaviors that lead to tantrums
For both you AND your kids!

Comment calm and Ill connect with you.

Instead of thinking,
Why is my child giving me such a hard time?;
swap your question to,
Why is my child having such a hard time?

This reframe can immediately release the stress and pressure that you feel in the moment and allow you to remain open, curious, and empathic in the middle of the hardest moments and worst storms.

Instead of diving into negative reactions and feeling defensive, resentful, and angry… try leaning into empathy and curiosity: what is going on to make my kiddo feel like this?

Even if their words or actions are completely uncalled for and seem to come out of the blue - Their feelings are coming from something REAL.

The good news? No matter how attacked you feel, it’s NOT you vs them… it’s you and them vs the problem. You can work together to solve it.
