Do you want to know the secret to better behavior?

Have you ever typed in a google search bar…”how do I get my child to stop crying?” or “why is my child crying so much?”

 

Today we are diving into the crying. What it means, why it’s beneficial, and how you can support your child through it to build your connection. And if you’re new, or you’ve forgotten, more connection = better behavior.

 

Here are a few key takeaways to help you understand more about your child as they work through a meltdown/tantrum/emotional expression…

1. Their prefrontal cortex detaches when they are upset and therefore they truly can’t rationalize with you during these times.
2. An emotional expression generally is a way to signal you as their caregiver that they are in need of someone to listen and support them.
3. An emotional expression signifies that your child feels safe to share his/her feelings with you. 
4. If we squash a child’s ability to express emotion we are hindering their learning process.

 

So how do you actually help through this process?? With a strategy called Stay Listening. 

 

It is very simple, but that doesn’t necessarily mean easy. Tune in as we talk more specifically about how to actually do it AND get results.
