In moments of overwhelm, kids don't need lectures

Help them make sense of their experience when you notice:

  • Big feelings, few words...

    They're frustrated, but "fine" is all you get.

  • Sibling conflicts...

    Fights escalate to tears or tattling.

  • Mixed messages...

    You can't find the cause—or the off-ramp—because you don't really know what's going on.

  • Demands and complaints...

    All their asks seem to come at you from sideways.

When you're at a loss, pull out the cards to start the conversation:
