Epsiode 23: Managing summer meltdowns

In today’s episode, I’ll explore the challenges of managing children’s behaviour during the summer holidays, emphasising the importance of understanding the underlying reasons for their actions.

I’ll discuss the significance of laying a solid foundation by meeting children’s needs, setting boundaries, and providing structure. Encouraging positive behaviour will involve consistency, clear expectations, and positive reinforcement.

I’ll highlight the value of staying calm as a parent, practising co-regulation during meltdowns, and using severity reduction strategies when needed. The focus will be on proactive prevention rather than reactive management, with an emphasis on reflection and preparation throughout the summer series.

So, let’s dive straight in.
