meltdown in public

Youโ€™re in the grocery store. Or the park. Or at a family gathering. And you sense a major meltdown coming. Itโ€™s so embarrassing when your child has a meltdown in public – especially when you know other people are watching!

Join Jim and Lynne Jackson, co-founders of Connected Families, as they offer practical and down-to-earth solutions to this real-life struggle. This podcast addresses some common questions we frequently hear, such as:

  • โ€œWhat should I do when my child is having a meltdown in public?โ€
  • โ€œIs there a time and place for immediate obedience, and what does that look like?โ€
  • โ€œHow can I better connect with my child in a discipline situation?โ€

Along with these helpful insights, youโ€™ll gain a crucial โ€œbig pictureโ€ perspective of your (and your childโ€™s) identity as Godโ€™s beloved children. Not perfect parents with well-behaved kids, but imperfect parents and kids learning together in the love and grace of Jesus.

Bible references mentioned in this podcast:

The Parable of the Two Sons (Matthew 21:28-32)
Jesusโ€™ Warnings to the Pharisees (Matthew 23:25-36)
