Your Child's Tantrum Is Not a Behavior Problem — Here's What Rebecca Woulfe Says It Actually Is

The meltdown hits in the grocery store, the restaurant, the living room floor — and every parent's first instinct is to make it stop. Rebecca Woulfe is a parenting expert who works specifically with the reframe that changes everything about how you respond: tantrums are not misbehavior. They are developmentally normal expressions of emotional overwhelm from a nervous system that does not yet have the capacity to regulate itself. What she shares with Stacey Chillemi about why children have tantrums and what is actually happening neurologically when one hits, the practical strategies for diffusing meltdowns without escalating them, how to stay calm and compassionate when everything in you wants to react, and the proactive approaches that reduce tantrum frequency before they start will give you the most grounded and immediately applicable tantrum management framework you have encountered. Your child is not giving you a hard time. They are having a hard time. This episode shows you how to help them through it.
