Big emotional outbursts are one of the most exhausting and isolating things parents deal with, and almost no one was taught how to handle their own feelings, let alone a raging child’s. This week’s episode is for the parent who’s tired of losing the same battle, who knows shouting back isn’t working, and who wants to understand what’s actually happening underneath the storm.
In this episode:
The difference between a child who is giving you a hard time and a child who is having a hard time, and why getting that wrong changes everything.
What’s really driving your child’s rage at every age, from toddler to teen.
Why punishment makes rage worse, not better, and what it teaches your child about coming to you.
The one thing every raging child, at every age, is actually fighting for.
A personal story I’ve never told publicly before, about a weekday morning with my five-year-old daughter that I have not forgotten.
The long game of repair, and why the moments you’re not proud of don’t have to write the ending of the story.
Reference mentioned in this episode Surah Ali Imran, ayah 159
