When a child is melting down, our instincts can take over — and not always the helpful ones.

We might lecture, rush to fix, or tell them to calm down… but these actually block co-regulation rather than build it.

Let’s talk about what not to do — and what to try instead — so we can truly help a child borrow our calm instead of our chaos.

Billie Eilish Turns Sold-Out Tulsa Concert Into Funding for Iron Gate

Billie Eilish’s Changemaker Program chose Iron Gate Tulsa as one of the recipients of funds raised through her sold-out concert in Tulsa.

Iron Gate provides meals and support services to people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity in the Tulsa area. The organization did not disclose how much funding it received, but Billie Eilish’s Changemaker Program has raised $11.5 million nationwide to support nonprofit organizations.

“Thanks to Billie Eilish and her fans for their kindness, generosity and compassion. We are proud to be among the many donation recipients of Billie’s Changemaker Program,” Iron Gate Tulsa said in their official social media.

The Oklahoma Gaslight thanks Billie Eilish and her team for supporting the Tulsa community and helping people experiencing homelessness in a state where not even the governor seems to care for the unhoused.
