Summary

We've all been there. We stand gazing down at our little one as they scream and shout, cry and wail, and thrash around on the floor.

Tantrums are common and a completely normal part of a child's development. But that doesn't stop us feeling stressed, anxious and maybe even embarassed about what others must be thinking when our child is having the mother of all meltdowns. We feel the gaze of others burning a hole in the back of our heads, feeling judged as we plead and grapple and bribe. So how can we manage these moments better?

In this solo episode of The Therapy Edit, Anna shares 5 invaluable tips on dealing with public tantrums and meltdowns, helping you to end the conflict, soothe your child and bring peace to your outing once again.
