When your child has a meltdown, they’re not misbehaving. They’re offloading stress, frustration, or unmet needs in the only way they know how.
These emotional outbursts are a natural part of development, but that doesn’t make them any less exhausting.
In this class, Susan and Tracy will help you reduce the intensity and frequency of meltdowns with time-tested rituals, practices, and routines.
You'll also learn how to better self-regulate when emotions start running high, so you can offer your child the medicine they need most--your calm, co-regulating presence.
Whether you're in the thick of toddler tantrums or navigating the emotional rollercoaster of adolescence, this class will help you confidently navigate the rough waters of parenting through meltdowns, while sailing into fewer storms.
We'll cover:
✔️ How to identify pre-meltdown behaviors before they escalate
✔️ Tools to help you stay steady when your child is falling apart
✔️ Why some kids are more meltdown-prone—and how to support their sensitive systems
✔️ Why children can't "use their words" when they're upset
✔️ What to do during a meltdown to restore calm
✔️ The importance of helping to help children find their tears
✔️ How overstimulation (screens, noise, clutter) impact your child’s nervous system
✔️ Ways to build your child’s capacity for self-soothing and resilience
✔️ Simple strategies to reduce overwhelm through routines, environment, and connection
✔️ How to handle public meltdowns without shame or escalating power struggles
✔️ And much more!
