037. Parenting Kids With Aggression, Simple Tools For Everyday Struggles - Tosha Schore

Tosha Schore is the author of the hit book Listen: 5 Simple Tools to Meet Your Everday Parenting Struggles and the creator of the course Out With Aggression which has revolutionized the way I parent my two boys. Tosha has successfully raise three boys who suffered from aggression issues and now is teaching her methodologies all over the world. I discovered Tosha after taking her course, as I too was struggling with parenting two young boys, one who was extremely aggressive towards me: hitting and kicking me, spitting at me, yelling and screaming. I had read many popular books on child psychology, attended seminars, and enrolled in child-parent therapy without seeing any real change.

After taking Tosha's six week course, I started noticing immediate changes in my relationship with my boys. Finally the momentum has shifted in our family and we are really making some strides. I'm so happy to have her on the podcast to help inspire and share some crunchy nuggets that are going to help others that are struggling with this same thing.
