Ever feel like your child’s meltdowns come out of nowhere? One minute they’re playing, and the next, it’s a full-blown "volcanic eruption" on the living room floor. Most parents wait until the screaming starts to intervene, but by then, it’s already too late. In this video, we’re diving deep into the neuroscience of emotional regulation to reveal the secret to stopping a meltdown before it even starts. We explore the critical difference between the "Simmer" and the "Boil"—and why your current discipline strategy might actually be making things worse. ????
