Tantrums are a universal parenting challenge—they can feel overwhelming, embarrassing, or downright exhausting. But what if you had a simple, practical way to respond that actually helps your child learn to calm down?

In this follow-up episode, I’m joined by Chris Lake, educator, child development expert, and founder of Behavior Booster. Chris breaks down his “Lake Method” of de-escalating tantrums in a way that makes sense for both kids and parents.

We cover:

  • What to do first when a tantrum starts (hint: safety comes before soothing)

  • Why letting your child move through the crying cycle matters

  • How to avoid common pitfalls that accidentally reinforce tantrums

  • The power of validating emotions without caving to demands

  • What an “extinction burst” looks like and why it’s actually a sign of progress

    Get trusted pediatric advice, relatable parenting insights, and evidence-based tips delivered straight to your inbox—join thousands of parents who rely on the PDT newsletter to stay informed, supported, and confident. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠!
