- Print and distribute the “Breathe, Think, Do” cards to each parent. Ask parents to raise their hands: who hasn’t been sure what to do when their child is having a meltdown? Look at all of those raised hands! Reassure parents that they are not alone: it’s not easy when children’s emotions take over, but there are way to help kids learn to handle their emotions and behavior.
- Mention that when children are worried or angry, they need a parent’s help finding the words or actions to show their feelings. They may act out because don’t know how else to express themselves.
