That's a lot of advice ms. @arbitrarykitten that I can use for my baby though he's not acting out but some of your advice... like
Listen carefully. Not only in what they say, but in what they don't say.
And ask them what they want, what they need, and what they should do. The answer will tell you a lot.
And be patient with yourself. Empathy is a skill that will develop and fine tune throughout your lifetime.
I can apply these when he's having tantrums maybe 😊😘❤️
Oh yes, definitely when he is having tantrums <3 That is the hardest for you, for sure, but think of him- why is he having a meltdown? Something is causing him so much chaos inside, and he does not have the words to express, so he freaks out. That is the only thing he can do at the moment :)
Thank you so much for that maam... 😘😘😘
