Gabor Maté is the smartest man alive! Copping mechanisms for trauma look different in every child. Medicating children because of behaviour smooshes feelings, the link of ADHD medications and addiction is so obvious. The world sets children up for failure. They’re feelings and they need to be explored and children need to feel safe to discuss them. Stop telling them they’re broken because they feel harder.

Too often, we automatically address children’s behavior as intentional or willful, trying to talk and reason with kids to change their behavior when what they really need before they can do things differently is to feel .

In her book ‘Beyond Behaviors’, Mona Delahooke, Ph.D. makes a distinction between bottom-up behavior that is rooted in our senses and unmet subconscious needs, and top-down behavior that is mediated by our intentional thought processes. It is only top-down behavior that is susceptible to conversation, consequences, and logic, which is why so much of what we do with chronically challenging kids just doesn’t work. Conversation, consequences, and logic assume a level of self-regulation the child doesn’t have, and isn’t targeted at the underlying causes that are bottom-up.

Because derails the capacity to reason, it is essential to start by ensuring a child feels safe. The foundation of behavioral change is relational security. Nothing is possible without that.

In her book, Dr Delahooke shares dozens of case histories from her decades of working with challenging and their families. In all these cases, she shows how misbehavior is usually an adaptive and unconscious response to an internal reality for the . That reality is often hidden from the adults in the child’s life—masked by their own anxiety or annoyance at the behavior—until they begin to ask themselves why the child is doing what they’re doing, and how that particular behavior helps the child cope.

Using understandings and clinical experience, Delahooke explains that misbehavior is very often the body’s response to stress, and not intentional: “When we see behavior that is problematic or confusing, the first question we should ask is NOT ‘How do we get rid of this behavior?’ but rather ‘What is this telling us about the child?’”

I’m sharing this again because I think it’s so important.!!! COULD YOU IMAGINE, as a grownups someone came to you while crying and said…. “Stop crying”. “You’re fine”. In hard moments we need kindness, compassion and patients. They’re people and they’re your people. Speak kindly to them, it changes who they are on their insides. They’ve never done this before, they need help processing their emotions. They don’t gossip over wine with friends. You need to work through it with them. Talk to them as you would consoling a friend. Give them as much space, as you would to a friend🖤Life gets hard for everyone, even 4 year olds.

Instead of stop crying…try these
How many of you hear ‘stop crying’ growing up?
If this is something you heard often it’s can be difficult when you hear the big kid cries not to shout ‘stop crying’
When we stop and validate their feelings they pass much quicker.
They feel seen and understood.
They learn that all emotions are ok?
Which leads to children being able to emotionally and physically self regulate.
