Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...
5:10 - Approaching the situation without shame and trying to do our best not to go to the meeting at the school from a defensive frame of mind.
7:55 - Zooming out from the behavior itself to try to understand what types of emotions are leading to these outbursts will allow us to be more effective in "treating" it.
9:50 - Creating a relationship between you and your child's teacher to establish open lines of communication from the beginning of the year can be helpful.
18:02 - If your child is having a lot of meltdowns in school, they are likely hitting an overload point.
20:06 - Identifying if there have been any big changes in a child's life can help you track down the root issue that could be causing their behavioral issues.
20:28 - Ross Greene's Unmet Needs and Lagging Skills framework can be useful for parents in these situations.
24:25 - Communicating to the child that they are having a hard time and we are there to help them to change the behavior, rather than focusing on the behavior itself.
