Does your son meltdown for hours at a time? Are they unable to move from one thing to another without aggressive behavior? You’ve missed appointments, he refuses to go to school, and very few people understand that a heavy hand is not the answer. You even question your own ability to help him.
It’s so good to have you here! This podcast will give you hope that you aren't failing your child, relieve tension from the aggressive meltdowns, and process through stress and anxiety so you and your child can thrive.
Hey, I'm Cynthia. A wife and boy mom. For over a decade, we lived in the trenches of extreme meltdowns and collapse. The smallest thing could trigger aggression.
Coming out of a monster-sized meltdown left me feeling like I got run over by a semi...it spiralled out of control pretty fast! Not only did I want to help my son, but I was sick and tired of ending up in a big heap myself…saying and doing things I wish I hadn’t.
It was like I was on an island where no one understood the toll the meltdowns had on our family.
I finally learned how to stay confident in the middle of the aggressive behaviors. I discovered co-regulation and realized I could actually help my son return to calm.
I’ve pulled together the best strategies and insights from more than a decade of feeling completely clueless about how to help him settle.
Instead of letting his behaviors run our home, I carved out a path from rage, violence, and chaos into peace, hope, and real learning. And now I’m ready to share that path with you.
If you’re ready to reduce the meltdowns and aggressive behavior and finally see that what you are doing is actually helping it’s time to climb out from under the covers, there’s a bright day ahead!
