Ever wonder how to reconnect after a fight with your child - without the guilt, second-guessing, or endless explaining?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite go-to strategies as a psychologist and a mom for how to reconnect with your child after conflict. It’s evidence-based. And it’s so simple you’ll wish someone taught it to you sooner.
This approach isn’t just about repairing the moment - it’s a powerful tool for teaching emotional regulation and modeling empathy, even when your child is spiraling. I’ll walk you through how to calm a child down when angry, and how to actually talk about what happened... without anyone shutting down.
What we cover in this episode:
- The reason your child resists talking about the conflict - and the story-based strategy that bypasses that wall.
- Why direct logic fails with little kids (and what to do instead for teaching emotional regulation)
- How to use storytelling as a tool for how to reconnect after a fight - without making your child feel blamed or shamed
- The key mindset shift for how to calm a child down when angry and still hold your boundary
- How to reconnect with your child - while still balancing connection and limits.
Listen to the full episode to learn a practical tool you can use tonight (yes, even if your kid just screamed at you). Because how to reconnect after a fight, how to calm a child down when angry, and how to reconnect with your child don’t have to be mysteries - and teaching emotional regulation doesn’t require a PhD.
Hit play, take a breath, and let’s figure this out together.
