In this episode of the Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I sit down with Melanie for a coaching episode.

Melanie is a mom of two spirited boys – Ben and Eamon. We talk about the challenges Melanie is facing, from managing often intense energy levels and instances of aggression to understanding strong emotions and dealing with non-cooperation in daily routines.

I give Melanie solutions, like introducing one-on-one time and sensory activities, prioritizing problem-solving situations, and reminding children that their parents are on their side.

We talk about:

[3:49] When Melanie’s son gets lost in play and becomes physically aggressive
[5:58] Handling meltdowns at dinner
[12:53] Running in the street to the car
[16:28] Random acts of aggression
[21:31] Finding your own triggers and then knowing what to do about them

[37:00] Sensory issues
[46:40] Check in and update
