Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron Should I hug my child or ignore them during a tantrum?
In this episode of the Reflective Parenting Podcast, I chat with Albiona Rakipi who is a parent coach. I love her work and it is well-aligned with the research I read around co-regulation and teaching kids how to regulate emotions.
If you are a parent that often questions what to do DURING a tantrum, then this episode is for you. You will learn her simple method that makes it easy to know what to do and what to say to your toddler.
You will also learn about the importance of co-regulation!
