@Destiny Doehl Hi Destiny! 💚 Thank you for sharing so openly - what you're doing for yourself and your son is important. You're absolutely right that it all begins with us learning how to assist them. I love that you're already using breathing exercises during tantrums! That's actually one of the core pieces of the Body-Heart-Brain approach - helping their nervous system settle first (Body), then reconnecting (Heart), before any teaching or problem-solving (Brain). When we understand what's happening in their developing nervous system during those big moments, everything starts to make more sense. So glad you're here! Can't wait to support you on this journey. 💚

@Hayley Ball Welcome Hayley 🤍 10-year-olds can have such intense emotions, and the angry outbursts can def feel overwhelming, you’re in the right place. At 10, her nervous system is still developing, and when she’s in an outburst, her thinking brain goes offline. The Body-Heart-Brain approach fits this age - settle first, reconnect, then guide once she can access her thinking brain again. You’re doing such important work by seeking support for both of you 💚
