Time Outs Vs Self-Calming

In this episode of the Fresh Start Family Show, we are re-visiting an OG fan favorite episode where Wendy & Terry discuss the why & the how behind taking a break from using time-outs in our households, and instead, teaching & modeling how to implement self-calming breaks. 

Time-outs are a forced isolation that do not actually teach a child how to calm themselves down. Self calming breaks give kids practical tools to take care of their needs in healthy & appropriate ways. They’re all about coaching our kiddos to feel their emotions and deal with them from a place of integrity.

Tune in to learn more about:

• The difference between external control vs. intrinsic motivation
• How to implement self-calming breaks in our homes & take a break from time-outs
• The importance of modeling
