Learn moreA WORD FOR THIS SEASON
You’re probably feeling like every ‘no’ turns into a meltdown. Some days you feel like a referee, a snack machine, and a punching bag before 9 a.m.
Tantrums, hitting, and not listening are very common from 1 to 3. Big feelings are showing up in a little body that doesn’t have the words yet.
I’m a mom of six, ages 7 to 23, and I know how big these little feelings can get. Your calm comes before their calm.
JessDoes this sound like you?
- “Every transition turns into a battle.”
- “My toddler hits, and I don’t know what to do in the moment.”
- “I say it ten times and nothing happens.”
- “I’m stuck between being too harsh and being too soft.”
Not harsh, not permissive. You can be both kind and firm with this little one. Galatians 6:9 says, Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. The small, repeated moments are the harvest.
A TOOL FOR TONIGHT
Calm, connect, correct, mend
Use this the next time a meltdown or a hit happens. Keep your words few and your voice low.
- 1Calm first. Take one breath, get down to their eye level, and soften your face. Your calm becomes their calm.
- 2Connection second. Name the feeling: You’re so mad. You wanted that toy.
- 3Correction third. Hold the line in one short sentence: I won’t let you hit. Hands are for helping.
- 4Mend and restore. When they’re calm, hug them and say: I love you. We’re okay. Then help them make it right.
Inside the membership, you’ll find the full plan for tantrums, hitting, and listening, with age-by-age steps.
