How To Calm A Tantrum Without Saying A Word
Manage episode 436597814 series 3386176
Welcome! I’m Dr. Cathryn, pediatrician with 35 years of experience and mom of 4. This week, we dive into the art of calming a tantrum without saying a word. Timing and approach are key—intervene too soon or in the wrong way, and you might unintentionally escalate the situation. By staying calm, you share that calm with your child, guiding them through their big emotions.
Key Takeaways:
- Anatomy of a Tantrum: Anger dominates early on, but as the tantrum subsides, sadness takes over—this is your moment to step in.
- Empathy Over Intervention: Understanding your child’s perspective helps de-escalate the situation. Sometimes, all they need is your calm presence, not words.
- Examples in Action: Whether it’s a grocery store meltdown or a bedtime battle, staying silent and present can help tantrums pass more quickly.
- Prolonging Factors: Eye-rolling, logic, and bribes can backfire. Stay patient and trust the process.
Remember, tantrums are opportunities for connection. If you struggle with finding the right words during tough moments, check out my guide, *Words That Work*, featuring 200 scripts to handle any challenge. The link is in the show notes.
Thanks for tuning in—see you next week!
