I'm Doing Everything Right... So Why Is My 3-Year-Old Still Having Meltdowns?

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "I'm doing everything I know to do... so why is my child still having such big emotions?"

In this week's Ask Deb, I answer a heartfelt question from a mom of a sensitive, strong-willed three-year-old who feels she's doing everything 'right'—giving choices, spending quality time, staying curious and creating a loving environment—yet her daughter is still having intense emotional outbursts.

If you've ever questioned yourself as a parent because your child seems to melt down over the smallest things, this video is for you. We'll explore:

Why sensitive children often experience bigger emotions.

What your child's behaviour may really be trying to tell you.

The difference between a child being uncooperative and a child feeling overwhelmed.

How curiosity can replace frustration.

Why your child's nervous system may need support, not correction. Remember, your child's behaviour is communication.

When we look beneath the behaviour, we begin to understand the child.

Remember, behaviour is communication. When we become curious instead of critical, we help our children understand themselves—and that's where emotional intelligence begins.
