My 5-year-old was having a moment, so I took my hand, and started plucking the air around her . . .

Of course she stopped the meltdown to ask what I was doing…

“Shh, sit really still . . . they’re all over you” . . . I said, staying focused.

“What’s all over me?” She asked, almost forgetting why she was upset.

“The grouchies!” I continued . . . “We’ve got to get them off you!!”

At this point she realized that I was being silly and she started laughing.

“No those aren’t grouchies, they’re HAPPIES!!” She said.

“Oh good!” I said, putting one back and plucking other spots.

“No that’s not a grouchy either!!”

“Are they all gone?!” I asked.

“Yes!” She said laughing.

“I want a hug.” She said.

Sometimes we can shift the tone of the moment through play and connection . . . not always, and I promise I know it’s not easy, especially when you’re tired & frustrated . . . but, it's worth it when it works.

You become a soft spot to land after the big emotions pass.

So next time your little one starts spiraling, try plucking those grouchies away.
