Hi Riley, I think as parents we can all relate and I’m sure you are doing an amazing job 🥰. I guess it can depend on the age but with my 2.5 year old. We always try to ‘use words’. So if he’s having a melt down, I’ll say ‘I think there’s something you want to say, shall we find words for it’ then I’ll list a bunch of emotions and try to identify where he’s feeling them in his body. This tends to calm him down and make him more aware of his feelings. It helps me too understand a little more what’s going on for him.
