When my kids are melting down, I try to remember: they’re not doing anything I don’t do, too.

I get irritable when I’m hungry.
I get uneasy with change.
I feel frustrated when things don’t go my way.
I get overwhelmed when life feels too big.

The difference is that I’ve had years to build language and skill. They’re only just beginning to learn.

So when the storm hits, I try to pause and remind myself: we’re all still learning.

We’re all trying to find our footing.
We all need moments of patience,
a listening ear,
and a whole lot of grace.

They’re not giving me a hard time — they’re having a hard time.

And sometimes the most powerful thing I can do, is remember that their struggle is not so different from mine. ❤️

Between ages six and nine, something subtle but powerful begins to shift.
Emotions grow stronger. Friendships feel deeper. Reactions get bigger.
It’s not attitude — it’s adrenarche, the brain and body’s quiet rehearsal for puberty.

Children at this stage are learning to ride emotional waves that feel new and intense, without yet having the brain maturity to manage them smoothly.
They need calm guidance, not correction.
Understanding, not shame.
