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.

When we’re stressed, our breathing changes.

We start to take quick, shallow breaths — using only a small part of our lung capacity. This means less oxygen reaches the brain, and the prefrontal cortex (the part that helps us think clearly, make decisions and stay calm) goes offline.

Deep breathing helps bring it back online.
By slowing down and filling the lungs completely, we send a signal of safety to the body. More oxygen flows to the brain, helping us re-engage the pre-frontal cortex and move from ‘react’ mode back into ‘respond’ mode — calmer, clearer, and more in control.

Breathing prompts are included in our toolkit below.
