Giving your child options when they're acting out sounds backwards. But here's why it's worth trying.
We've all had that restaurant moment — kid melting down, you're just trying to finish one sentence.
In situations like this one, here's what I'd say:
"I see you want to talk to me. I'll talk to you as soon as I'm done. While you wait, would you like to color or sit on my lap? Your choice."
Not a magic fix. But a script that keeps the connection open even in hard moments.
Ready-to-use scripts for exactly these moments are inside the Kidversation Cards. Grab yours at KidversationCards.com 💛
