What are the biggest challenges parents face with intense, explosive child behavior?
Doing what you can to influence things and again knowing what you know about yourself and your child. Because so often we we think about what works for other people and we've got somebody right in front of us who is giving us feedback and information all of the time. And it's being able to go to an observer place and to get curious around, okay, who is this kid? And what are they teaching me? What are they showing me?
Welcome to the Tilt Parenting Podcast, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and if you're a longtime listener of the podcast, today's guest will be no stranger to you. I've asked parent coach Margaret Webb to come back on the show because I wanted to have a very real and honest and helpful conversation about. About how to handle those really difficult situations with our kids. Moments or even days and weeks at a time where our child may be operating at a highly dysregulated level. Maybe they're explosive or super intense or unpredictable or all of the above. And because we as parents and caregivers tend to bear the brunt of our child's big emotions, it can be really difficult to know how to best respond and be
in these situations, both in the moment and in the aftermath. And for a quick introduction to Margaret, she's a certified master life coach, parenting coach, nature-based coach, former teacher, wife, and mother. And as a life and parenting coach, she weaves together her experience as an elementary education teacher with the tools she learned in Martha Beck's Life Coach Training, Sagefire Institute's nature-based coach training, and what she's applied to her own life as a mom of. child with special needs. Many of you also know that Margaret helped me through what I call my dark years in parenting. And so I knew she'd have a lot of great insights for you and she absolutely did. I'm so excited to share this conversation with you.
