FREE GUIDE FOR PARENTS
Feeling helpless in the meltdown?
Here's what I actually do.
Download The Meltdown Reset - 5 therapist tools you can use in the moment, written by a child therapist who works with families like yours every day.
WHAT'S INSIDE
The tools therapists use - finally explained for parents
This is not a list of tips from the internet. These are the actual strategies I use with real children in my therapy room - translated into something you can reach for in the moment, when everything is kicking off.
In five pages, you'll understand what's actually happening in your child's brain during a meltdown - and know exactly what to do about it.
1
Regulate yourself first
Why your nervous system is the most powerful tool in the room - and how to use it.
2
Get low, get close, get quiet
The simple physical shift that signals safety to a dysregulated child.
3
Name it to tame it
How putting words to a feeling literally reduces its intensity - and what to say.
4
Connection before correction
Why consequences don't work in the moment - and what does.
5
The recovery matters as much as the meltdown
What to do after the storm - and how to use it to build something stronger.
"A meltdown is not a behaviour problem. It is a beautifully alive little human being in need of your love and presence."
MIA VON SCHA - TRANSFORMATIONAL PARENTING
WHO IS THIS FROM?
I've been working with children and families for over a decade
I know what it's like to sit across from a parent who has tried everything, is exhausted, and is starting to wonder if something is wrong with them. It isn't. You are not failing. You are likely just missing a framework - one that makes sense of what's actually happening for your child.
That's what I do. I take the tools and understanding from the therapy room and translate them into something real families can use at home. Without the waitlist, without the jargon, and without making you feel like you're doing it wrong.
This guide is a small taste of that. I hope it helps.
With calm and presence, Mia
