Your Kid Isn't Acting Out — They're Falling Apart: How to Handle Tantrums During Big Life Changes
Description
"Am I failing as a parent? Am I screwing my kids up?" If those thoughts have crossed your mind lately, this episode is for you. Because when your kid's behavior goes sideways during a big transition — new baby, new school, new house — it's easy to take it personally. And that's exactly when you make it worse.
Robbie walks through a year of nonstop change in his own family and gets honest about what his kids' tantrums were really telling him — and what his own reaction was actually saying about him. This episode is less about fixing your kid and more about understanding what's happening in both of you.
Topics covered: why transitions cause behavioral explosions in kids, what your child's nervous system is actually doing during a meltdown, how your emotional state pours gasoline on the fire, and practical tools that have actually worked — not just in theory, but in Robbie's house last week.
