@walkers.therapy: Most parents correct tone first. “Don’t speak to me like that.” But when a child is already frustrated, the brain often hears this as confrontation. That’s when arguments escalate. Sometimes responding to the emotion first helps the nervous system settle enough for the child to reset. Respect still matters — but the order we address things in can change the outcome. Does this moment feel familiar in your house? #WalkersTherapy
