Podcasts about meltdowns

Send us a textWhen emotions run high, it's so easy to get swept into the storm—especially when it's your child, your teen, or even your partner who's upset. In this episode, I talk about how to stay grounded and calm when the people around you aren't. I'll walk you through how co-regulation really works, how to respond instead of react, and why your calm body is one of the most powerful tools you have to teach emotional safety.These ideas don't just apply to parenting—they work in every relationship, because emotional regulation isn't just a skill for kids, it's a human skill. I also created a free companion resource, The Calm Connection Sheet, to help you put this into practice. You can grab it through the link in the show notes and learn how to decode emotions, find the right words, and calm both yourself and others when feelings get big.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com

Co-regulation is one of the most powerful tools we have to help children learn how to manage emotions, but many parents wonder: Am I even doing it right? When your own emotions feel overwhelming and your child's emotions are spilling over, it can be hard to know if what you're doing is helping.In this episode, I break down the signs you're co-regulating effectively—and the red flags that mean you're missing the mark. By the end, you'll know how to create more emotional safety for your child, model healthy coping strategies, and begin to calm the brain first so that both self regulation and connection grow stronger, even in moments of emotional dysregulation.How do I know if co-regulation is actually working?When you're practicing co-regulation, look for these green lights:You pause before reacting—even if you're still triggered inside. That moment of not reacting right away wires calm into your nervous system and models it for your child.Your child returns to baseline faster. Meltdowns don't magically disappear, but recovery time shortens when your child feels emotional support.You're less reactive and more present. Instead of personalizing your child's behavior, you can stay grounded and focus on connection.These are powerful signs you're co-regulating right, even if the journey is messy. Remember: behavior is communication, not misbehavior.Why does my child stay upset for so long?Parents often worry: Why can't my child just “get over it”? The truth is, dysregulated kids get stuck in stress responses.When co-regulation is working, you'll notice:Less escalation over time—strong emotions are still there, but the intensity fades faster.More trust and closeness after difficult moments. Your child feels safe knowing you didn't “hold it against them.”Children begin to use their own words and tools. Over time, kids copy what you model: deep breathing, naming feelings, and even humor.Emotional regulation isn't instant. It's about progress, not perfection.Am I making mistakes with co-regulation?Yes—every parent does. The key is knowing what might get in the way:Performing calm instead of being calm. If you're smiling on the outside but resentful or tense inside, kids feel it in your body language, tone, and facial expressions.Rushing to fix emotions. Instead of shutting down your child's big feelings, ride the wave with them. That's how children learn self-regulation skills and trust that emotions aren't life-threatening.If irritation or anger doesn't ease over time, it may be a sign to get extra support for your own stress responses.Yelling less and staying calm isn't about being perfect—it's about having the right tools.Join the Dysregulation Insider VIP list and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit, designed to help you handle oppositional behaviors without losing it.Download it now at www.drroseann.com/newsletterWhat helps me co-regulate more effectively?Parents can build co-regulation strategies into daily life by checking in with their own emotional states first.

From a potential government takeover of AI labs and the dark philosophy of human extinction to a raw confession on modern burnout…Welcome to the Alfalfa Podcast

I've been thinking a lot lately about the concept of pre-regulation and how it can help with preventing meltdowns. Today, you'll learn how to help your kid get calm (and stay calm) so you have less dysregulation and fewer tantrums.You'll Learn:Why meltdowns actually happenThings you might be doing that make tantrums worseHow to help you child calm their nervous system in the momentTons of simple (and fun) strategies I used with my kids to keep them calm in advance to prevent meltdowns from happeningI hope you implement just one or two of these this week for yourself and for your kids. Then, tell me how it goes!---------------------------------------------Understanding Meltdowns and RegulationIn kids, dysregulation often looks like kicking, screaming, punching, yelling at you, saying really crazy things… aka a tantrum or meltdown. I like to call them Big Feeling Cycles. You can actually see that your child is sort of out of control. As a parent, the instinct is often to try to control that behavior. So maybe you raise your voice, make a threat, or try to bribe your kid in order to stop the behavior. But these don't deal with the cause of the meltdown, because feelings drive behavior.Arguing or trying to “teach them a lesson” doesn't help in these situations. It usually just creates more problems.When you trust that the grumpiness, complaining, or meltdown is temporary, it gives you some perspective. You're able to allow for some of those feelings to be and have compassion.A helpful thought for you when your kid is in the midst of a Big Feeling Cycle is: Thoughts and feelings are like weather. They always pass. As your kid's emotional coach, your goal is to help them get out of fight or flight (the sympathetic nervous system) and into rest and digest (the parasympathetic nervous system). Imagine this (or maybe it already happened in your house today)… Your kid is having a fit because they're in a bad mood and they don't want their chicken nuggets. Instead of arguing, you say, “Okay. Eat it or don't eat it. We'll figure it out.” And then all of a sudden, they start eating! What happened in that moment is that their nervous system came back online, and they're better able to regulate. In-the-Moment Strategies for Calming Big FeelingsIf you want to go deeper and get the step-by-step process for these strategies, I've done individual podcasts episodes on most of them, so go back and listen! The Connection Tool is your best strategy to handle a Big Feeling Cycle. It has three parts:Narrate the situation - What is happening? What behaviors are you seeing?Name the emotion - I wonder if you're feeling…Now what? - Give your child another strategy to communicate or cope with their big feelings. The 3 Rs of emotional regulation are also really helpful in getting back to calm.Rhythm - Intentionally moving your body in a way that has a soothing effect on you. This could be jumping, swinging your arms, or doing a shimmy shake.Relationship - When you have someone come alongside you and say, “You're okay. I've got you. We can handle this,” it takes away the fight or flight response. You're no longer alone and afraid. Reward - This isn't a reward like a toy or ice cream. It's a little dopamine kick that can be achieved by completing a small task. This isn't one that you can do right in the middle of a Big Feeling Cycle, but if you catch it before the train has fully left the station, you might be able to turn things around. Intercepting or interrupting the Big Feeling Cycle with a small task or...

New York City is on fire—figuratively and politically. Days before ICE launched sweeping raids across Manhattan, reporters caught the growing tension in the streets. Then came the crackdown: federal agents storming Canal Street as social media blew up with leaked raid locations. What followed was total chaos—protesters flooding the courthouse, mobs surrounding ICE units, objects thrown, chants echoing through the city. Judge Jeanine Pirro breaks it all down, exposing the raw truth behind what's really happening in America's so-called “sanctuary city.”But that's not all—while ICE ramps up enforcement, NYC politics are imploding. Socialist frontrunner Zohran Mamdani is leading the mayoral race with a radical platform: taxing “whiter” neighborhoods, legalizing prostitution, and pushing government-run grocery stores. Even De Blasio's jumping in to defend it. We'll show how these plans could wreck the economy—and how other cities already tried and failed.And later: the EBT fallout. Viral videos of angry citizens warning Trump not to touch benefits, and insiders revealing the real story behind America's growing dependency crisis. Plus—our FAX BLAST calls on Congress to end attacks on ICE and prosecute those who target federal agents. It's bold, unfiltered, and urgent. Tune in today—this is one episode you can't afford to miss.

When eating disorders overlap with anxiety, OCD, or depression, recovery can feel especially complex. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller, LMFT, explores how co-occurring mental health conditions interact with disordered eating and body image struggles. She explains how anxiety often fuels food rules and avoidance, how OCD rituals can merge with eating rituals, and how depression can make nourishment feel almost impossible. Throughout the episode, Dr. Marianne shares intersectional case examples that reflect the diversity of real-world experiences. You will hear about a Black nonbinary person whose anorexia and depression are dismissed by medical providers, a South Asian immigrant coping with OCD and bulimia in a culture where discussing mental health is taboo, and others whose experiences reveal how systemic bias and identity shape recovery. This episode offers understanding, compassion, and realistic tools for healing when multiple conditions overlap. What You'll Learn You will learn how anxiety, OCD, and depression intersect with eating disorders, why eating disorders rarely exist alone, and how each condition influences the recovery process. Dr. Marianne explains why addressing only food behaviors is not enough and how integrative treatment supports both the mind and body. You will also hear about sensory-attuned strategies and community-based care that help people move toward safety, nourishment, and autonomy. Key Takeaways Eating disorders often coexist with anxiety, OCD, or depression because they share common roots in trauma, nervous system overwhelm, and attempts to create safety. Anxiety drives control and rigidity, OCD fuels compulsive rituals around food and body, and depression slows motivation and energy, making self-care harder. True recovery acknowledges these overlaps and treats the whole person. Healing does not mean erasing anxiety, OCD, or depression. It means building a life that includes these realities while reducing their control over food and self-worth. Recovery becomes more sustainable when treatment honors a person's full identity, including body size, race, gender, and neurotype. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for anyone who lives with an eating disorder and another mental health condition such as anxiety, OCD, or depression. It is also for clinicians, family members, and supporters who want to understand how co-occurring challenges interact and how to provide compassionate care. Content Caution This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, and depression. Please take care while listening and pause if you need to.

Tara breaks down yesterday's Supreme Court showdown over the fabricated Gingles precedent, exposing how decades of judicial overreach created racially gerrymandered districts to favor Democrats. From Louisiana to national implications, she explains why striking this precedent could restore 15–30 congressional seats to Republicans — and why the Left is panicking. Tara also covers voter registration victories under Trump, the removal of secretive “epsilon” census formulas, and how California's refusal to enforce English-language requirements for truck drivers puts public safety at risk. Finally, she highlights global power plays, including how the UN's proposed climate tax was thwarted by U.S. leverage.

Unchecked anger always escalates. What begins as a seed of offense can grow into bitterness and when our hearts turn against our neighbor, how can we fulfill God's call to love them? Joseph's brothers let jealousy and resentment take root until it turned into hatred and betrayal. The good news? Even in the middle of pain and brokenness, God is not absent. Just as He was with Joseph through every trial, God can take what was meant for evil and use it for good.

Even the disciples — the men who walked side by side with Jesus — had meltdowns. On the road to Capernaum, at the Last Supper, and everywhere in between, they argued over who was the greatest. But Jesus flipped their idea of greatness upside down: “Whoever wants to be first must be a servant to all.”

Today's podcast looks at a common parenting struggle through the eyes of home education. There are always times when we find ourselves in the eye of a storm, navigating overwhelm, tantrums, fury and meltdowns in our home (and that's just us!). Home education can magnify these moments as you spend so much more time together but it also offers great scope to work through these moments successfully together without external interference or triggers.Charlotte and I suggest five practical strategies to help you as a family before, during and after a period of overwhelm, and of course do so within the context of home education. With Charlotte Webb - Hello! I am Charlotte Webb, I am a therapist and psychological coach, I specialise in connective parenting, neurodivergence and home education advice and support for children and adults in my local community. I am a home ed mum to 4 children and I run a home education learning centre. - @charlotteswebboflife on Instagram - Charlotte 's Facebook page - Charlotte 's Facebook group

"It's not our job to remove every obstacle from our children's path. It's our job to walk with them through it." In this conversation, Heather sits down with Alyssa Black Campbell, author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, for a powerful discussion on emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and what kids really need to thrive at home and in the classroom. They explore the myth of middle childhood being the “easiest” phase, how trauma-informed education changes lives, and why parenting is deeply personal, emotional, and yes sometimes selfish.

When your young child with ADHD has an explosive meltdown over something seemingly small, it's not manipulation—it's neurobiology. In this Voices of Compassion podcast episode, we talk with CHC experts, Neilson Chan, PhD, and Marjan Ebadi, PhD, about emotional dysregulation in young children with ADHD, exploring why their emotions feel bigger, last longer, and come on more rapidly than their neurotypical peers.Listen in as we discuss why children with ADHD are at higher risk for emotional regulation challenges and how executive function plays a role, along with common triggers and strategies that parents and caregivers can use to support their young children. This episode is perfect for parents, educators, and caregivers looking for compassionate approaches to supporting young children with ADHD through their biggest emotional moments.Resources:CHC OnlineCHC's Catherine T.

Even the most faithful followers of Jesus don't always see eye to eye. Paul and Barnabas — once powerful ministry partners — faced a disagreement so sharp it broke their partnership apart. But even in conflict, God was still at work.

Not Perfect. Still Super. Every Family is a Hero… Would you join us at The Table?

Aileen Miziolek hosts an in-depth conversation with Alyson Schafer, an acclaimed author and Adlerian family counsellor. In this thoughtful 30-minute episode, they touch on issues around over- and under-functioning children, why the notion of fair vs. equal in childhood can impact long-term family business dynamics, and how tackling the unique challenges of enterprising families requires maturity, open-mindedness and an understanding that sometimes personal responsibility is the only path forward.   All views, information, and opinions expressed during this podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Family Enterprise Canada.   Guest bio Alyson Schafer is one of Canada's leading parenting experts. She promotes a firm but friendly “democratic parenting” style and offers practical solutions backed by extensive evidence-based research. Alyson is an Adlerian family counsellor, author, and internationally acclaimed expert who empowers families by sharing her principles, rules, and tools for raising co-operative and resilient kids.   You can learn more about Alyson Schafer on her website and LinkedIn.   Key Takeaways [0:26] Aileen Miziolek welcomes Alyson Schafer and asks her to share about her experience with family business dynamics.   [3:01] Understanding the notion of fair vs. equal is a large part of how a family orients itself. Alyson explains how the abundance and scarcity models may influence how this manifests.   [6:48] While intergenerational patterns are real, there is always hope for change when there is maturity and open-mindedness.   [10:36] Family businesses do not have the freedom of relative anonymity in the workplace: family tensions can easily translate into business tensions.   [12:52] Personal responsibility is required for change. Alyson offers a dance metaphor to illustrate that the “other” doesn't always need to start the process.   [15:15] Children differentiate to stop competition. Alyson warns against bean-counting to prevent under-functioning.   [20:46] Alyson shares tips to manage over- and under-functioning in any given system.   [23:34] Co-leading siblings is possible, but will require strong buy-in, well-defined roles and responsibilities, and generational support.   [26:15] Solving problems at the parent level is usually the fastest way to power change.   [27:29] North America is singular in its propensity to cut off family members!   [29:43] Links to Alyson Schafer's contact, podcast, and books can be found in the links below.   [31:11] Aileen thanks Alyson Schafer for sharing so much of her knowledge, and closes this episode by reminding listeners to rate and subscribe.   If you enjoyed today's episode, you can subscribe to Let's Talk Family Enterprise on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast apps.

Have you noticed that since school started, your afternoons feel more chaotic? Maybe your child walks in the door, drops their backpack, and bursts into tears—or lashes out over the smallest thing. It can leave you wondering if something is wrong with them…or with you.   The truth is, what you're seeing is incredibly common. In fact, there's even a name for it: restraint collapse. After holding it together all day at school, kids often come home to the one place where they feel safe enough to release all the emotions they've been bottling up. And while it can be overwhelming to parent through these meltdowns, there are simple, practical ways to help them regulate and recharge. In this encore episode, I'm joined by Alyssa Blask Campbell, an educator, researcher, and founder of Seed & Sew. Alyssa explains why after-school meltdowns are so common and offers doable strategies you can put into place right away to help your afternoons feel calmer and more connected. In this conversation, you'll learn:

In the garden, Eve listened to the serpent's lies, and a false narrative led to a devastating fall. But even in failure, God pursued Adam and Eve with covering and grace. This week, we'll see how secondhand revelation can confuse our hearts, why we need to know God's Word for ourselves, and how His mercy still reaches us in spite of our mistakes.

Hochverehrte Leserschaft, es war ein Schauspiel von geradezu dramatischer Wucht: Alina, hochschwanger, taumelt durch die letzten Atemzüge der 38. Woche – mal heulend, mal lachend, mal Blumensträuße in die Ecke feuernd. Neben ihr: Fanny, die unerschütterliche Chronistin, die zwischen Windelkriegen, Schulkindtränen und Müsli-Meltdowns den Überblick bewahrt. In dieser Episode erleben Sie den Wahnsinn zwischen praller Fruchtblase, überkochender Hafermilch und der Frage: „Warum zum Teufel haben Männer immer Empfangsprobleme genau dann, wenn's ernst wird?“ Wir sprechen über Streitkultur mit Blumen, Kinder, die plötzlich zu kleinen Kotzfontänen mutieren, und den bittersüßen Schmerz, wenn ein Zahn im Abfluss verschwindet. Doch keine Sorge, geneigte Gesellschaft – Humor, Selbstironie und das ein oder andere diabolische Lachen halten die Damen über Wasser. Eine Folge, so chaotisch, dass selbst die Steuererklärung dagegen wie ein Wellness-Tag wirkt. Lady Leisadale hat gesprochen.

In this conversation, Nina Caviggiola and Emily Daniels discuss the critical role of co-regulation in educational settings, emphasizing the importance of adult regulation for effective teaching and learning. They explore the definitions of regulation and co-regulation, share real-life examples, and critique traditional behavior management systems. Emily offers practical tips for parents to help their children regulate at home and discusses how parents can advocate for co-regulation practices in schools. The conversation highlights the need for a paradigm shift in education towards understanding and supporting the nervous system's role in behavior and learning. Emily Read Daniels is the creator and author of The Regulated Classroom —an evidence-based framework that enables educators to cultivate conditions for felt safety in the classroom.  She developed this framework after spending years as a school counselor working with dysregulated students and staff, knowing that teachers needed tools and practical strategies for coping with and recovering from trauma. https://www.regulatedclassroom.com/ The best way to cook just got better. Go to HelloFresh.com/MAMAKNOWS10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Item for Life!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Big kids mean big feelings and sometimes that shows up as defiance, meltdowns, or even anxiety. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really going on beneath the surface and why it's not just “bad behavior.” We often think school-aged is cruising with emotions but big feelings are common. I'm joined by returning guest Alyssa Campbell, a child development expert, to provide the right tools for when emotions can feel overwhelming. We'll talk about how age bias often shapes the way adults respond to older kids' emotions, why yelling or punishment backfires, and how collaborative emotional processing can help kids feel understood while still respecting boundaries. You'll learn: Why defiance is often a sign of unmet needs, not disrespect The role of age bias in how we label behavior in older vs. younger kids How collaborative emotional processing helps kids regulate big emotions Practical, evidence-based ways to respond to meltdowns, worry, and pushback using her “F.A.C.T.S.” method How to raise kids who feel both confident and connected To connect with Alyssa Campbel check out all her resources at https://www.seedandsew.org/about.

In this episode of Just the Guys, the hosts — joined by a new guest, Kevin — tackle the important and nuanced topic of anger, meltdowns, and their impact on relationships. Drawing from their own neurodiverse experiences and relationships, they explore whether “meltdown” and “anger” are interchangeable, and how these emotional states affect not only the individual but everyone around them. They discuss how to recognize the line between frustration and a full meltdown, using vivid metaphors like pilots ignoring warnings, or weightlifters knowing their limits. The group reflects on the critical role of recognizing when you can still listen to reason versus when you've spiraled beyond control — and the consequences of both states. The conversation highlights how meltdowns are not always loud or angry; they can also manifest as emotional shutdowns. Regardless of form, every reaction has an impact on spouses, children, and the relational climate. The guys discuss the helplessness, fear, and even trauma that partners can feel in the wake of repeated meltdowns, and how chronic incidents can lead to hopelessness in relationships. Importantly, they emphasize the necessity of repair and introspection. Repair involves accountability, understanding the harm caused, listening to feedback without defensiveness, and working to prevent future incidents. They remind listeners that repairing trust is a team effort — built on grace, openness, and hard work — and that even if meltdowns stem from autistic traits, the behavior and its consequences still require ownership and restoration. The episode closes with a reminder that meltdowns and their impacts cannot simply be brushed aside — they must be acknowledged and addressed, because every action has an impact.

Parenting in the middle years (ages 5–12) comes with big feelings, new social pressures, and challenges parents don't always see coming. Alyssa Blask Campbell, author of the new book, Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, joins me this week to unpack the emotional, social, and developmental shifts of the middle years.   Together we explore:   The ninth sense: neuroception. How this rarely talked about sense shapes kids' feelings of safety, belonging, and regulation. What it means to support kids based on their unique nervous system and sensory profile (and why one-size-fits-all strategies don't work). How to replace control with curiosity to strengthen connection and reduce conflict. The role of social belonging, identity, and “fitting in” during the elementary years—and why what feels small to us can feel huge to them. Practical tools for navigating anxiety, dysregulation, and big feelings in ways that foster resilience and confidence.   Big kids really do have bigger feelings—and this episode will leave you with fresh insights, concrete strategies, and a sense of clarity as you support your child through these transformative years.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Welcome to the Future Generations Podcast with Guest Alyssa Campbell, author of "Tiny Humans, Big Emotions" (New York Times Bestseller) and her newest book "Big Kids, Bigger Feelings" out this September. In this episode, Dr. Stanton Hom talks with Alyssa Campbell, diving deep into the complex world of children's emotional intelligence and nervous system development. Targeting parents of children aged 5-12, educators, and child development professionals, the conversation explores the nine sensory systems, how children process stimuli, and provides practical strategies for supporting emotional growth. Campbell breaks down the unique ways children experience and regulate their emotions, offering insights that can help parents move from reactive parenting to intentional, compassionate guidance.   Highlights: "All behaviors are communication of a need."   "What we're sensitive to drains our nervous system. What we're seeking recharges it."   "We're all unique humans, and the way our nervous system works is unique."   "It's not a question of whether your body is wise. The question is, what is your body trying to say?"   Timestamps: 03:45 - Introduction 08:01 - Exploring the Nine Sensory Systems 13:07 - Understanding Sensitivity vs. Seeking in Nervous System 25:38 - Collaborative Emotion Processing Method Explained 30:34 - Practical Strategies for Nervous System Regulation 34:38 - Deep Dive into Emotion Processing Steps 41:16 - COVID-19's Impact on Children's Emotional Development 44:27 - The Power of Compassion in Parenting 49:33 - Alyssa Campbell's Mission and Future Vision 53:07 - How to Connect and Learn More   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Alyssa Campbell: Alyssa Campbell M.Ed., is an emotional intelligence researcher, Founder and the CEO of Seed & Sew, host of the Voices of Your Village podcast and author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings: Navigating Defiance, Meltdowns, Anxiety to Raise Confident, Connected Kids (HarperCollins Harvest, 9/16/25).

Donna Adelson's Courtroom Meltdowns EXPOSED | Family Turns Against Her Donna Adelson wanted jurors to see a sweet grandmother fighting for her family. Instead, they saw a controlling matriarch who couldn't contain her rage. Her courtroom outbursts forced repeated warnings from the judge — even after the guilty verdict was read. In this segment, we analyze how her failed “grandma strategy” clashed with evidence of her obsessive control. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains why image matters in court — and how Donna's demeanor may have backfired. We also break down the shocking testimony from inside her own family: daughter Wendy Adelson and son Robert, describing a mother who manipulated every aspect of their lives. What happens when your children are the ones confirming the prosecution's story?

We also break down the shocking testimony from inside her own family: daughter Wendy Adelson and son Robert, describing a mother who manipulated every aspect of their lives. What happens when your children are the ones confirming the prosecution's story? This cut dives into the psychology, the courtroom optics, and why jurors believed them. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #AdelsonFamily #WendiAdelson #RobertAdelson #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #truecrime #trialcoverage Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
