The Secret to Calm Kids and a Happy Home | Happy Families Schools

What do you do when your child is losing the plot?

On a recent coaching call with a desperate mum, her four year old crashed into the room and started screaming. She was upset about EVERYthing. I listened as Mum tried her best to calm her little one, but things only got worse.

I asked the mum to repeat a couple of sentences after me. I spoke. She repeated. Within 20 seconds her four year old was sitting happily on her lap, colouring in while that mum and I continued our conversation. Within two minutes the little one was outside playing with her big sister.

It’s not magic. I can show you how. No yelling, no threats, no bribes. Just calm, confident parenting, and a happy home.
