Very helpful! I am excited to try 1) placing myself below their eye level in relaxed posture 2) acknowledging how my child is feeling and why when he/she gets (unreasonably) upset 3) Hand on heart, other on tummy, deep breathing
Enjoy the information and brief introduction to various professionals . I continue to follow many for additional information and help.
Tina is a gem!
Can someone clarify what she said that her kid might be in to (it was just an example)? Something like “sticks” but I don’t think it was quite that. I know it’s not one of the strategies but still curious! 🙂
It was sticks!!
Really good advice – thank you. It’s things like getting below their eye level and listening – sounds so simple but what a difference it can make. I hope I remember to try this next time a situation arises.
This was such a useful and helpful couple of tips – I totally relate to the example – thank you thank you!
