Thank you for this perfectly timed article: our 7-year old daughter is having big emotions lately and we’ve been accepting and waiting but no much “letting go”. We will definitely put a focus on this. However, how can we manage if we’re under time pressure (leaving for school, having to run some errands before an appointment)?

Thank you for sharing this. I noticed recently that my daughter’s meltdowns resolve better when I stay calm and let her be. The only concern I have is when she starts hitting, kicking, shouting and damaging doors, walls, furniture in those moments. I don’t want to accept this behaviour. I say it’s okay to feel upset, angry, sad but we do not hit, kick, break things. But during a meltdown she forgets about those boundaries and there is no way out. What can I do?

Thanks for sharing this insightful article from Janet Lansbury’s blog. It’s important for parents and caregivers to understand that children may sometimes hide their feelings or reject comfort, and this behavior doesn’t necessarily indicate a lack of trust or connection. The article provides valuable insights into how to support children in expressing their emotions and offering comfort in a respectful and understanding manner.
