If your child melts down over seemingly nothing, and you wonder how to handle meltdowns, this episode is for you! Josh shares how he transitioned from frustration to curiosity during a meltdown with his teenage son. After completing our Discipline That Connects course, Josh had new tools he needed when his son got upset over a simple bowl. Instead of reacting with anger, he responded with grace, creating a sense of safety, love, and connection. His story shows the practical, real-world application of the Connected Families Framework in those challenging parenting moments we all face.







We’re working to double the Table Community this month, which means we need six new superhero supporters every day to keep these life-changing resources available for overwhelmed parents everywhere. Josh’s transformation occurred because he had access to biblical, research-informed parenting tools through Discipline That Connects—and when you join The Table at connectedfamilies.org (http://connectedfamilies.org) , you receive the same course, plus ongoing support through webinars, devotionals, and community. As Josh discovered, this framework can “so significantly impact your family for generations to come.” Will you join us in making that possible for more families?









Key Takeaways:








• Learn just how much a pause and creating a safe space can impact an escalated meltdown





• How choosing to say, “I’ve got all kinds of grace for that,” turned into laughter, and prayer together through a tough season
