About this listen

 This episode is for the parent who keeps seeing the same explosive moments and realises the child simply can’t find the words or steps to stop. I name the moment — the panic that comes when a child has no language for their rising feeling — and normalise how common and solvable this is. The core idea: a two‑minute 'micro‑story' ritual you do together that names one feeling, names one body clue, and scripts one tiny calming action or next-step. I offer ready-to-use templates and verbatim starters for toddlers, school‑aged children and teens; a three‑step practice loop (create, rehearse, anchor); a 60‑second bedside rehearsal parents can try tonight; and low‑effort and sensory-friendly alternatives for exhausted or neurodivergent families. I flag when stories aren’t enough and provide clear signposts for professional support. Close includes the show signature cue and a gentle subscribe CTA so listeners can build this habit without pressure.
