Communicating WELL feels impossible when tempers are high. This week we are talking brain science and it will help you understand why your kiddos act the way they do. Turns out, we have picked up some pretty great techniques over the years! This episode is all out strategies to struggle well when deescalating fights between siblings, grounding techniques for our fight or flight kiddos and ways to regulate ourselves before engaging. Follow our show’s Instagram for more resources throughout the week!
