God said:
Let your No be No and your Yes be Yes..✝️

Simple isnt it.

[allewmerx]

People tend to forget that NO is also an answer.

“Train up a child according to his way, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭6‬ ‭LSB‬‬)

As a soon-to-be new mom to a son, I appreciate this popping up in my for you page

[JaneQPublic]

3 big boy breaths as deep as they go
to the bottom of the lungs and out the nose - hold at the top and count to three
to slow the heart and center me

Holding their breath is a reset to the nervous system- big deep breaths regulate focus and calm the heart rate. This takes them out of fight of flight and in to reason and logic- then let them speak freely and actually hear them. It’s usually more than just them wanting to toy- it’s an inability to communicate what they are feeling bc they don’t have tools for those feelings. It’s our job to give them tools not just shut them up.

Praise God Jesus Christ Holy Spirit Amen 🙌

100%. I feel like no one remembers being a child :/
I feel like I’ve got an instinct on what 0-5yr old kids need. Once they hit 6… they become a total mystery to me 😂

My husband who's a strong loud man...who was also his mom's tantrum, loud "crazy" child...he gets down on my son's level and he talks to him and hugs him...then makes him laugh...then explains what's going on and why to calm down. Puts that fire out everytime. I feel like them both being men and a growing man that it really helps. As a mother I need to learn to be more patient but I tell him that we are getting the angry monster out by jumping on the trampoline or we have a tickle time and anything to make him laugh. Then I ask what he needs or explain why he couldn't have what he is mad about not getting.😊

Currently have 6, 4, and 2 year old boys. Driscoll's response is spot on.

Then later the other dude.

I pray the our father in Spanish to my son and I hold him.

This is so true! When our daughter would start to have a tantrum. I would ask do you need a hug. She would cry and say “yes”. After she calmed down we would talk about the events.

[RyderBrazeal]

Jesus loves you and we all need to love each other ❤

[jaimereynolds]

Never reward bad behavior!
My son is 16 with nonverbal autism. He has tantrums and also meltdowns. Very easy to tell the difference.

[stefanierice]

Distraction is also a great way to help them out of a tantrum. My 6yo was really struggling with explosive tantrums and all I had to do (and this was even when he was as young as 2yo) was ask him color something was and it took a couple seconds for him to calm down.

[kathleenwages]

Thank you for this. Much needed advice for my daughter-in-law from someone besides me.

[loriclyde]

I ALWAYS used to tell my kids when they were little, if they we’re going to throw a fit, they could go to their room until they calmed down, and after then we can talk about what’s going on and how we can take care of it.

[valeriepasternak]

Did the same thing you suggested with my middle child. Whonis a very successful 22 yr old now.

Christian brothers and sister please help us!
I have a 7 yr old son with severe regressive autism. He is very low functioning. He goes completely psycho when told no and doesn't get his way. Our walls are covered in holes. What do you do in a case like this? We hold him down but he still goes psycho
We can't hardly leave the house with him anymore because it's gotten so bad.
We took him to the elders of the church we attend online.. They alanointed him with oil and prayed over him. He has gotten worse since then even.
Been trying to heal all his medical problems but his body will not heal. Is it a demon in him? Spirit of sickness? What do we do? My husband and I are on the verge of heart attacks all the time because of our son and his behavior.
Please help!!!

I have a 2-year-old very strong-willed son and when he gets upset I will pick him up. Give him a hug. Tell him it's all right. If he continues to scream and freak out, I will sit with him in the moment and I will try to get him moving on to the next task or whatever it is! Like. No, we can't do that but we can do this! After he's to a point where he's listening

if I asked for a sleepover or to buy something in front of my friends, the rule was that the answer is always no. it worked and it taught me better respect.
