The tension is building and the situation is starting to escalate from bad to worse. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? As easy as it is to join our teens in this escalation, they need us to be regulated and available in order to de-escalate. Opening up the conversation helps us create a deeper connection and enables both sides to open up a bit more about what’s going on and their perspective on the situation.
“If you have somebody in front of you who is completely dysregulated, you are gonna want to stay regulated as much as you possibly can.”
- Beth Hillman
