TANTRUM!
Manage episode 310696122 series 3068941
Whether young or old, no one is a stranger to tantrums. A constant source of frustration and consternation for parents, tantrums can actually be fairly predictable and--if you're engaging in good self care--straightforward to navigate.
Here's the acronym from the show - remember, tantrums are MUCH more likely to emerge in a child or adult when that person is:
- Hungry
- Angry
- Lonely
- Tired
- Sick
- Growing, or
- going through a Transition
Anyone who can update the original HALT acronym to include Rebekka's added S, G, and T gets the first ever Sandbox tote bag!
