These are commonly called \u2018toddler tantrums\u2019 and as they grow, those tantrums can become intense \u2018meltdowns\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as this stage can take many parents by surprise and trigger fear, pain and anger, your child is NOT \u2018terrible\u2019. They are not \u2018bad\u2019 or \u2018naughty\u2019. They are a young child with an underdeveloped brain that needs to be supported and listened to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tantrums and meltdowns are a communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a child is crying, having a tantrum or a meltdown it is likely related to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A feeling of disconnection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unmet needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lacking information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painful feelings, stress or unprocessed trauma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you can understand these emotional releases are simply a form of communication, you can start building tools to meet their needs, increase connection, acknowledge their feelings and help your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learning to listen to their feelings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most powerful tool is learning to stay present with your child while they release their emotions and simply listen. AND this can be the hardest thing to do for many parents because it is not part of our conditioning.<br>You were likely raised in an environment that never listened to your feelings \u2013 your tears, anger and upset \u2013 and so now as a parent your natural tendency may be to stop your child\u2019s big emotions. This might look like punishment, time out, distraction with food or TV or walking away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with these tactics is that they can set up your child to have even bigger tantrums as their needs are not being met. Their painful feelings are being ignored and suppressed and will possibly come out in the form of even bigger meltdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time outs and other forms of punishment may work in the short term but long term can have considerable impacts on a child\u2019s attachment, belief system and sense of acceptance and belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taking a holistic approach to supporting your child<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are facing regular meltdowns and challenging behaviour in your home, there are some things you might want to consider from a holistic perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increasing nutrient dense food. More vegetables, fruit, good fats, proteins, fermented foods and limiting sugar \u2013 follow @jokate_nutrition on Instagram.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toxins in your home \u2013 cleaning products, shampoo, common household sprays, scented candles can have toxic impacts on our children\u2019s brains. Follow @lowtoxlife for insights. It needs to be a small steps journey as this can feel overwhelming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try holistic care \u2013 find a kinesiologist, chiropractor, osteopath or occupational therapist who is supportive and knowledgeable in children\u2019s development, brain science, vagus nerve and releasing suppressed emotions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less activities \u2013 children don\u2019t need lots of structured adult led activities especially under the age of 7. They need more nature, more slow, more unstructured play, more presence of adults to listen and guide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special time \u2013 one on one time to connect and release big feelings through connected play \u2013 refer post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alitablanchardspace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@alitablanchardspace<\/a> on Instagram.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rest \u2013 sleep is critical. If you are struggling, this is where I advocate for Aware Parenting, listening to big feelings and attachment play as a component of improving sleep. #awareparenting #cryinginarms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listen to big feelings \u2013 this is the core of the work I am so passionate about. Guiding you, the parent, to understand why you get so triggered, why you resort to punishment, time outs, threats and reward systems, why you yell scream and rage. So that you can find more capacity to listen to your child\u2019s big feelings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support systems \u2013 to be able to listen to our children\u2019s feelings we MUST have someone to listen to ours. If you don\u2019t have a partner or friend who can hold this sort of listening space for you (many people can\u2019t), try therapy, counselling, listening partnerships, mothers circles, parent coaching, emotions coaching or listening time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I can empathize with how difficult it is finding support for your child when you may yourself be struggling with exhaustion, sleep deprivation, lack of emotional support and financial resources. Just take that one next step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is your biggest struggle when it comes to big emotions like anger and rage in your home? Do you have a support system in place? If not, I suggest making a basic action plan based on the above and starting to find support people. We are not meant to raise children in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alita Blanchard<\/strong> is a mother of 4 young boys (including a stillborn son Remy) on the NSW Central Coast.
