Draining Off High Intensity Behavior and Emotions

ABOUT THE TRAINING - Draining Off High Intensity Behavior and Emotions

When in high intensity, children can become inflexible in their thinking and explosive in their patterns of behavior. Intensely “shocking” words and hurtful actions are almost always present as the process of escalation begins. It is at this point that parents fall into the trap of reflecting their child’s intensity which leads to the perfect storm. This session explores the four stages of escalation and the language that restores calm and effectively deals with the unresolved trigger.
