The Foundation: Decoding the "Meltdown Brain"
We kick off by simplifying the science of emotional regulation. You'll learn exactly what is happening in your child’s brain during a tantrum and why "logical reasoning" doesn't work when they are overwhelmed.
Identifying Your Parenting Superpower
The secret to a calm child is a regulated parent. We will identify your specific "stress triggers" and equip you with the "Superpower of Self-Regulation" so you can remain the anchor in your child's storm.
The Toolkit: Practical Regulation Strategies
This is the "how-to" section. I will share 3–5 therapist-approved, age-appropriate tools (for ages 3-12) that your child can use to identify their feelings and find their way back to calm before a meltdown escalates.
