138. Why You Can’t Reason With a Dysregulated Child (& What Actually Helps in the Moment!)

Have you ever tried to explain something perfectly clearly to your child—only to be met with tears, frustration, or a complete meltdown? It feels like the more sense we try to make, the less sense it actually makes to them.

That’s because when kids are emotionally activated, logic goes right out the window. Their brains simply can’t take in reasoning in those heated moments, no matter how convincing or calm we think we’re being.

In this episode, we’ll dig into why logic doesn’t work when emotions take over, what’s really going on in your child’s brain, and how to respond in a way that brings more connection (and a lot less power struggle).
