Video insights

@mike_on_parenting's TikTok video "When your kid is in the middle of a tantrum, sometimes the best thing you can do is… focus on anything other than them. “The floor in here is really uneven” 🧐 “Wait… has that clock always been broken?” “Whoa.. there’s a chip in the wall right there..” It might sound strange, but there’s a reason this can work. Much like the viral “Jessica!” trick, an unexpected redirection can interrupt the intensity of the moment and lower the temperature in the room. And just as importantly, it gives YOU something to focus on. Instead of matching their volume, repeating yourself, or trying to convince them to calm down, you’re showing them: “Your screaming is pretty much pointless” That doesn’t mean ignoring their feelings or pretending the tantrum isn’t happening. It means staying calm enough that the tantrum doesn’t become the most powerful thing happening in the room. Sometimes changing the energy is more effective than trying to win the argument.
