Tantrums & Meltdowns: A Survival Guide for Parents
Cari Newman and Miranda Barzey will provide a closer look at the anatomy of a tantrum, the root causes, and ways to guide your child through it. This workshop offers parents tools for monitoring and managing their own emotion regulation, and practical solutions for diffusing meltdowns in toddlers to teens. Our clinicians will also offer resources and insight into when it may be time to seek outside help.
Parents will learn:
• The science behind a tantrum
• Practical tools for staying calm when your child is not
• How to guide your child through their meltdown
• Signs, timing, and resources for when to seek outside help
