Stop, Drop and Roll With It
In this episode, we’re taking a classic fire safety rule—Stop, Drop, and Roll—and turning it into your new secret weapon for navigating those fiery parenting moments. Remember how often the fire department visited your elementary school to drill this into our heads? Turns out, that advice is just as helpful for when your kid is melting down over the color of their cup as it is for actual flames.
I share a recent moment where I found myself at the edge of a parenting meltdown (yes, even therapists have those!) and how Stop, Drop, and Roll helped me regain control—well, at least of myself, if not the chaos. 😉 Learn how to apply this three-step strategy to put out emotional fires and keep your cool when the heat is on at home.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to apply Stop, Drop, and Roll to your parenting toolbox 🧯
- Why stopping in the middle of chaos can be a game-changer
- How dropping the need for control leads to calmer outcomes
- What “rolling with it” really means in the wild world of parenting
