Situations

Big emotions

Meltdowns, anger, worry, and calming down.

Quick tips

  • Take a slow breath yourself first. Your calm helps you respond instead of react.
  • Name the feeling in a few words before trying to fix it or explain.
  • Practice calming skills, like breathing or a quiet spot, when everyone is calm rather than mid-meltdown.
