Tantrums to Talking

Body-based tantrums are different 🧠

Because these types of tantrums NEED body input from us

Not more talking
Not repeated “calm down
Not consequences in the middle of overwhelm

When a 1–6-year-old becomes overwhelmed inside their body, their body can feel out of control

They need help getting back to calm and regulation first

Because regulation is a skill

And skills can be built

That’s where body input can help, based on your child’s cues:

✔️ Bouncing
✔️ Swinging
✔️ Deep pressure / squeezes
✔️ Jumping
✔️ Heavy movement activities
✔️ Rhythmic movement

Most tantrum advice only focuses on behavior

But some tantrums start in the body

1️⃣When we only focus on "bad behavior" we often miss the skills that our little one needs to build and practice like:

-regulation
-communication
-cooperation
Because they don't magically know these skills, they develop them with time and practice

2️⃣ Most tantrum approaches focus on what to do DURING the tantrum, or while the meltdown is already unfolding

But I'm asking what's happening in the brain and body 30-minutes before the tantrum?

Because prevention is so much easier than reacting to a tantrum already happening

3️⃣ Some tantrums start in the body. But a lot of parents are trying harder and harder to stop tantrums

Without addressing what's happening in the body

But some tantrums are body-based tantrums

So we NEED to address body-first to help them get to calm faster and easier
And build regulation skills

4️⃣ Saying "Calm down" doesn't help our little ones calm down
Because during stress our little one's ability to process and understand words and sentences goes down

A lot of parents feel secretly confused about their child's behavior

Because they've already tried everything

And it feels like nothing is really working

And they're not seeing the results they were hoping for

Even when they ignore every tantrum

Have a consequence for behavior

Or stay calm and validate feelings

And it leaves them feeling exhausted and overwhelmed

And sometimes feeling helpless

Here's the part that bothers me so much:

Most tantrum or behavior advice I see or hear

Doesn't even dip its toe into using a Brain and Body approach

Which is what our 1-6 year olds need the MOST

Since the brain and body connection is so strong

This gets to the ROOT of the problem

Rather than just reacting to behavior

And builds lifelong skills like

Regulation
Cooperation
Coping
Problem solving

And so much more

To build empathy, I:

1️⃣ Show natural consequences to their actions: Dad is hurt, needs care and attention

👉This builds empathy and helps them connect the dots between their actions, its impact, and how it affects others

2️⃣ Pretend play -- this is so powerful with 18 mo. - 6 year olds and gives the opportunity to practice understanding empathy and perspective taking

👉Pretend play helps children practice:
-empathy
-perspective taking
-emotional understanding
-problem solving

I have found this works so much better long-term than only focusing on punishment in the moment because it actually builds long-terms skills that stick 🤍
