And a few years ago, it totally would have. But, instead of losing my cool or resorting to punishing her for yelling and being \"rude\", I chose a different approach - one rooted in patience, empathy, and emotional intelligence.
I take you through exactly how I managed to stay calm (wasn't easy), change my perspective on her behaviour (super helpful), and co-regulate with her until we both found our way back to peace.... and her into bed!
I also share practical tips and strategies you can use when your child is having a tough, emotionally charged moment. I like to think this episode is a heartfelt reminder that even in the most challenging times, we have the power to be the parents our children need.
Enjoy! Steph.
