Dr. Courtney Tolinski and her husband, Scott, discuss how dysregulated behaviors can actually look like disrespect - and why it's important to distinguish. They get into:
- What dysregulation actually looks like in kids, including the signs to pay attention to.
- What's going on underneath dysregulated behavior.
- Scripts that parents can use in moments of heightened dysregulation that actually help.
- What not to say to kids when they're trying to regulate themselves, and what to do once they've calmed down.
- Where and when to get more support if the typical strategies don't help.
