Episode #53:
Stop, Drop, and Roll With It
Ā
In this episode, weāre taking a classic fire safety ruleāStop, Drop, and Rollāand turning it into your new secret weapon for navigating those fiery parenting moments. Remember how often the fire department visited your elementary school to drill this into our heads? Turns out, that advice is just as helpful for when your kid is melting down over the color of their cup as it is for actual flames.
I share a recent moment where I found myself at the edge of a parenting meltdown (yes, even therapists have those!) and how Stop, Drop, and Roll helped me regain controlāwell, at least of myself, if not the chaos. š Learn how to apply this three-step strategy to put out emotional fires and keep your cool when the heat is on at home.
In this episode, youāll learn:
- How to apply Stop, Drop, and Roll to your parenting toolbox š§Æ
- Why stopping in the middle of chaos can be a game-changer
- How dropping the need for control leads to calmer outcomes
- What ārolling with itā really means in the wild world of parenting
