"Most of us learned as children that our feelings were unacceptable, even dangerous. So when our child has a meltdown, the little one inside of us gets triggered. Danger signs flash. As always when danger looms, we feel a sense of panic. We just want to get away (that’s flight) or we feel a sudden rage — we want to MAKE him shut up (that’s fight) or we go numb (that’s freeze)."
How should we react instead?
