I’m at a loss for what to say then 😭

Dr. Free N. Hess, Child Safety :
I’m the peds ER this works when modeled. I ask them to look at me and take 3 breaths with me. They almost immediately calm down and focus.

For Jonah, “deep breath” is the only thing that instantly starts calming him down. For Carter, hardly works unless I “squeeze” his breaths out 😂

Except that it works for my son…although I don’t just tell him to do it, I sit with him to do it together.

Breathing together works with us! He’s four now but we started at 2. Also the Daniel the Tiger song!

Everyone here needs to read The Rabbit Is Listening! Sometimes we don't want someone to fix our sad feelings, but to just be there and listen.

Can I model deep breaths instead?

I don’t tell them I just start doing it and they follow?? I didn’t know we were supposed to talk to the angry toddlers 😂

I disagree a little. It all depends on how you say it and in which situations.😏

So let me guess, your advice is to let them “feel” their feelings?

I accidentally did this with "take a break". To her it means "stop doing what you're doing" and/or "mommy is stressed out". So we say take 5 now

It could be the way they say it too. When my son is frustrated I acknowledge that he’s feeling frustrated&say. Let’s take a deep breath and try again

De-arna :
Oh no 🥺 I often say to my kids "let's take some deep breaths, how can I help?" now I'm worried I'm invalidating their emotions

I think if you’re gonna give advice on what not to do, you should have advice ready on what TO do. Leaving your audience is off-putting

My daughter(2) responds really well to, “i’m breathing gold(any color in the moment), what color are you breathing?” AND continue to change colors☺️

I usually have my daughter breathe with me slowly till she can do it easily. Now she does it on her own.

Joseph Miller :
Okay but what about modeling and continuing to validate their feelings while practicing breathing TOGETHER

rebeccasoukup13 :
I model the deep breathing when my kids are overwhelmed. They seem to follow my lead and calm down without me telling them to do anything.

I say, "let's take a breath together." it works about 70% of the time.

Right but like what should one do?! Cuz if we even speak during a meltdown causes more screaming and crying….

Give a gentle hug and back rub, the child will take a big breath and calm down on its own.

We’ve actually been working on this and today I got “mad” and she told me to take a deep breathe and demonstrated it to help me. I was shocked lol

It’s the husband telling the wife “relax!” when she’s angry. 🤣

user3310084546815 :
It depends... If you have worked on self-regulation strategies with the child prior to the escalation then asking them to take a breath in 1/2

I take deep breaths w/ my 3yo and it seems to help but are there other things to try when she is melting down or overwhelmed/ overstimulated?

My son used to be triggered by “shower” and we started to use “get clean” and he was fine 😂 kids are an interesting bunch

I try to get down and breathe with him most the time, sometimes we even trace our hands with our finger while we breathe 😅

I model breathing with my daughter. We do “big wind” I’ll usually say “oh it’s gotten warm in here, could you show me your big wind?”
