Managing Emotional Outbursts

Outbursts, tantrums, meltdowns… whatever you call them, they’re not fun!

But your kids are not hardwired to deal with their emotions, it’s a skill they learn over time, and it’s your job as parent to support them and encourage them to develop those skills.

It’s not easy - I can attest to that, having raised two kids myself! And that’s why in this episode I help you understand what causes emotional outbursts, how these present themselves in different ages and stages, and what you can do to support them.

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
