PTSD - Parents Tryna Stop Dysfunction
Let’s Talk About Emotional Regulation
My grandson screamed, “Don’t talk to me!”
But instead of reacting, I invited him to sit with me… and we did the 54321 grounding technique.
He calmed down.
He opened up.
He felt seen.
👂 That moment reminded me: Kids don’t need more control—they need more connection.
💬 Have you ever tried helping a child calm down instead of just correcting their behavior?
What worked? What didn’t?
