Tantrums
What happens in a child's brain during an outburst, and what to do before, during and after the storm.
I'm Yochai Leshem, a clinical social worker and college lecturer in child development. For more than fifteen years I've led a center for attention, concentration and behavior difficulties in children. In these courses I've gathered what I teach parents in my clinic, in short lessons you can watch in the evening, after the kids are asleep.
The lessons are spoken in Hebrew, with full English subtitles and English drawings.
What happens in a child's brain during an outburst, and what to do before, during and after the storm.
How to spot anxiety even when it's in disguise, and build a ladder of small steps with your child.
When the sirens have stopped but the body still remembers: how to talk about what we went through, and get back to routine.
How to say no, and consequences instead of punishments.
Screen limits without a war, and a calm decision about the first phone.
Not being the judge, and the Bridge in the Valley of Peace.
An evening routine, learning to fall asleep alone, and night fears.
