Empathy and Parenting

2/3/2015

Some days parenting is just so hard. Wait no-scratch that-it's hard EVERY day! Sometimes it feels that you and your children are living in an alternate universe. This can be especially true for parents of toddlers who's brains have not yet developed enough to employ strategies like logic and linear thinking. They are not thinking about consequences or what their behavior might lead to. They are just thinking that they feel bad and need to let you know about it. Right now. In the middle of Target. At the top of their lungs. Yikes!

This article is helpful in getting parents to think about the tantrum or meltdown from their child's point of view. To understand where they are coming from and to build a bond with them in the midst of all that screaming. Check out the article and use some of the tips. Let me know in the comments which were helpful and which were useless. Hopefully these helped to shorten that tantrum or at least you as the parent feel less frazzled when it happens.
