Skills for Learning

01/07/2026

Hi everyone. As the school holidays get underway, just a few reminders:
Lack of routines can be really tricky for everyone- although it seems like freedom, it also removes the rhythm of daily life- so try to keep some routines consistent to support the changes occurring or keep a schedule of what is happening to make things more predictable.
First few days of holidays can be serious decompression time- you may find more opposition, more crankiness and general heightened emotional responses- provide time for it to pass.
Although we may want to pack in lots of experiences and activities, make sure you allow time to just be together- connection time and down time.
Above all, enjoy the break from routine if you can and be kind to yourselves!

This is coming up and a great resource for those with little people on their lives who experience BIG feelings. I think it's also useful for us adults who experience BIG feelings in our parenting journey! We are all humans making our way in the world.....with BIG feelings!!!!

Another tantrum is erupting in the house.

You try to reason.
You try to explain.
You try to negotiate.
You try to coach.
You try to warn.
You try to punish.
You try not to explode yourself!

Why does it feel like every single thing we do or say when our child is having a tantrum just makes things so much worse? Regardless of our intentions, our actions backfire.

This is because our children’s challenging behaviours generally stem from the big emotions they’re feeling. So when we try to put the fire out by pouring water on the behaviour, it doesn’t work. We need to go deeper.

Find out more about the reasons behind our little people’s meltdowns at our next free webinar.
