  • Meltdowns, Why Children Go Silent & How to Stop Shouting

    Meltdowns, Why Children Go Silent & How to Stop Shouting
    Jul 14 2026

    Every parent has moments where they wonder, “Am I handling this the right way?” In this episode of Ask Deb, I answer three real parenting questions that many families face.

    💙 In this episode we explore:
    • What to do when your child has frequent meltdowns.
    • Why some children struggle to tell you what’s wrong.
    • How to stop shouting at your child and build a calmer, more connected relationship.

    My goal isn’t to help you become a perfect parent—it’s to help you better understand your child’s emotions, behaviour and needs, so you can respond with more confidence and connection.

    If you have a parenting, emotional intelligence or behaviour question you’d like me to answer in a future episode, I’d love to hear from you - you can submit your question here!
