3 Things That Turn Tantrums Into Explosions (And What to Do Instead)

Описание: Tantrums don’t explode by accident—and they’re not caused by “bad behavior.”

In this video, I break down the three adult responses that most often turn small tantrums into full-blown explosions—and exactly what to do instead so you can calm the situation without escalating it.

If you’re a parent or educator dealing with meltdowns, defiance, or emotional overload, this video will help you:

✔ Stop unintentionally escalating tantrums
✔ Respond with clarity, calm, and confidence
