What Happened to My Sweet Child?
Manage episode 438073591 series 2430667
Why do formerly-sunny kids turn overnight into little tornadoes of defiance and aggression? A listener posted this question in our Facebook group:
My four-year-old daughter has recently developed a special, defiant, boundary-testing, aggressive version of herself that she saves only for me. I can’t make sense of it at all. WFH, send help!
In this episode, we explain why
- these sudden onsets of periods of dysregulation are completely normal
- almost every kid will go through this—and a lot of four-year-olds, although not they do not have exclusive ownership of this sort of behavior
- and why most kids alternate between periods of regulation and dysregulation repeatedly as they grow and mature.
These difficult stretches don't mean you're doing anything wrong as a parent. They don't mean you need to lock everything down because your kid will be a tornado forever. But they also don't mean mean you need to become the 24/7 punching bag for your dysregulated kid. Here's what to do instead.
Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:
