Have you ever reacted in a way that felt out of character, or even illogical? Have you felt frustrated with your child for doing something they know is wrong? Often, that comes down to a trigger: something that sparks big feelings and “flips the lid.” (Check out my last video for a deeper explanation.) One of the best pieces of parenting advice I’ve received came from my daughter’s therapist: don’t try to teach her calm, regulated self the lessons I think her dysregulated, flipped-lid self needed to learn. So I often choose not to punish Calm Mind for what Flipped Lid did. Instead, I focus on two things: 🔹 Helping her notice the signs that her lid is about to flip 🔹 Building calming skills that bring her back to a calm mind
