Hunter talks to Dr. Laurie Hollman about How to Manage Kids' Anger.

When our kids are angry — whether they’re a little one having tantrums, or an older child lashing out — it’s hugely distressing for us as parents. What’s wrong with our child? What’s wrong with me? We can think that our child is “bad,” if they’re angry all of the time, or that we’re failing. Instead, what Laurie Hollman tells us is that anger is a normal healthy emotion. In this episode, she shares her 5 steps for managing kids anger.

Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. You know more than you think you know. 2. When we experience our kids anger, we feel attacked. 3. Our job is to accept and tolerate our kids feelings so they can tolerate it too.
