The 5 Phrases to Calm an Angry Child in Under a Minute gives parents science-backed tools to calm without escalating the nervous system. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is an expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and emotional dysregulation in children. When your child is angry, those first few seconds can feel chaotic and overwhelming. Your heart races, your voice tightens, and suddenly nothing seems to work. But there is a way to shift the moment—starting with your nervous system and the words you choose. Let me share how to respond in ways that calm the nervous system instead of escalating it—and what parents can do right now. Why does my child explode when I try to calm them down?
