As a parent, I’ve been there. Our kids are having a tantrum, not listening, and not doing what we want. They’re feeling it in their heart. We try to fix it by using our heads: reason with them, take them into time out, or even yelling at them and forcing them to do what we want, etc.

A better strategy is to first connect with our kids and their feelings, rather than trying to correct their behaviors or lecture them. This infographic, by Social Workers Toolbox outlines how to do this.
