Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When my kid is melting down I feel trapped between two bad options
- I keep working on teaching my child to self-regulate, but the same things tip them over every time
- I keep trying to reason with my kid right in the middle of the meltdown
- My child reacts to everything on pure impulse and never seems to stop and think how the other kid feels, and I want to actually build that thinking-and-considering muscle during our good calm moments, not just keep firefighting once they’ve already lost it.
- Every conversation with my kid about their behavior turns into me laying down the law and them digging in, and I want a way to actually talk it through together
