In this episode of Inside Your Head, I chat to Kayleigh Luntz, an educational psychologist, about tantrums. Weather we like it or not, tantrums seem to be an inevitable part of a child's development. They are uncomfortable and sometimes quite overwhelming, and therefor it is so important for parents to equip themselves with skills and have strategies to make those moments a bit more bearable and manageable. Kayleigh shares some of her tips with parents around making transitions smoother and navigating those power struggles with more ease. We also discuss how tantrums can become learning opportunities and why how we deal with them can even impact us in adulthood.

Some social media pages suggested by Kayleigh to help parents:
