Every parent knows that sinking feeling when your child’s big emotions overflow. How do I stop this? What have I done wrong? Is it always this hard?
Whether your child is rolling around on the kitchen floor or refusing to get in the car, finding your way through these moments without snapping or bribing feels impossible. When you are already at your limit, managing your own emotions just becomes one more thing to mess up.

– How to use language to shift behaviour
– Why punishments and threats backfire
– How to respond when it all kicks off
– How to manage your own triggers and self-blame
