Ep #63 Something Ventured, Something Gained: When Upsetting Events Take Over

Andee Martineau - Podcaster, Best-Selling Author, Parenting Coach Episode 63

In today's episode, Andee's answering a question from a listener who wrote in asking about the right time to address off-track behavior or big emotions, and whether it's effective to teach during meltdowns. We explore this topic by breaking down the importance of timing, emotional readiness, and the developmental stages of children.

Key insights include:

  • Allowing 24 hours for emotions to cool down before addressing off-track behavior.
  • The significance of a working relationship with your child before setting limits.
  • Balancing firmness with compassion to create a safe and trusting environment.
  • Using questions to self-reflect and prepare for meaningful conversations.

We also discuss the importance of not being attached to specific outcomes and focusing on what your child needs to feel supported and understood. By shifting from a mindset of control to one of connection, you can create lasting positive changes in your child's behavior and your relationship with them.
