When Ruby’s tantrums took a turn for the worse, 😡 her parents decided to be proactive and follow their gut 💪🏻 instead of waiting to see if she would ‘grow out of it.’  Here’s what mom has to say!

“Ruby was having a lot of tantrums that went from 0-to-100 💨 in two seconds. She would take a really long time to level out, and I worried a lot about the effect the stress was having on her.

We knew toddlers having tantrums were normal, so we’d second-guess ourselves a lot, telling ourselves it was normal. But it didn’t *feel* normal. We tried every way we could think of to help her regulate and calm down, and it made us feel helpless. 😔

Our doctors at our PX Docs office instantly listened and empathized with our worry and were open enough to be curious about it. Judgment-free care is such a breath of fresh air!

And the scans 📈 definitely confirmed why she was struggling with regulating her emotions. It was wild to see visually what was going on inside.

After a few weeks of care, we realized we weren’t completely stressed out about Ruby’s tantrums – we weren’t on high alert because they weren’t nearly as wild or as frequent. 👏🏻 She also started to try saying more words a few weeks after starting care, and she’s really gained a lot of confidence in her communication over the last couple of months.

Ruby still has tantrums, but they seem a lot more developmentally appropriate for her age. We can help her move through tough things that would’ve ended our afternoons in the past. She has a lot more communication and really likes to try out saying new words. She jokes a lot, loves to sing and read, and gives the best hugs” ❤️

That mother’s intuition when things just feel ‘off’ never lies and it’s incredible to watch moms like Ruby’s follow it so their kiddos can thrive! 🙌🏻
