306: What Do You Do With the Mad that You Feel?


Listen Later

Ever wish your kid would just stop yelling?

This episode of Beautifully Complex will make you rethink that wish — in the best way. Inspired by the timeless wisdom of Mr. Rogers, I explore one deceptively simple question: “What do you do with the mad that you feel?”

In this solo episode, you’ll discover how anger shows up in the nervous system, why our kids often can’t think their way through it, and how to help them feel safe in their emotions, instead of ashamed. From compassionate scripts to body-based strategies, this is your go-to guide for turning meltdown moments into connection and growth.

Whether your child is autistic, has ADHD, or just struggles with big feelings, this episode is a must-listen.

🎧 Tune in to learn how to support your child’s emotional regulation — without control, shame, or power struggles.

You can find additional resources at parentingadhdandautism.com and Regulated Kids.com — because it’s not just about the struggles, it’s about progress, one step at a time.
