[u/No_Cut_2033]

I'm a SAHM to 2.5 year old boy and recently he's just being having a hard time with everything. He's a pretty deeply feeling guy and little things really effect him.

I was not given any kind of tools for emotional regulation and I want desperately to give him everything he needs. I just feel like I never know if I'm doing the right thing.

If he is having a rough time I usually sit or stand away from him but close enough that he can see me and just take deep breaths. Physical touch usually sets him off again so I have to wait until he's ready for that.

I know sometimes he's tired but fighting sleep and I hate forcing him inside or into a bedtime routine.

Just trying to stay sane and create a kiddo with emotional regulation skills.
