[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a related note how tf do you stay calm during these (somewhat absurd) meltdowns? I have a hard time with this. The first few minutes I can be empathetic and calm but eventually i want to scream. [/quote] Dan Shapiro's class will help you break down when to empathize and when to ignore. Basically, empathize before the meltdown, to let them vent, show you care, encourage them to talk it out, hopefully head off the meltdown. Once a meltdown is in full swing, ignore. This could mean calmly exiting to the bathroom, or needing to check on dinner, or etc. [/quote]
