Temperament & Parenting Big Reactors - Part 2
In this 2-part episode we are joined by developmental pediatrician Dr. Scott Akins, to talk about temperaments. Specifically, those big reactor kids- the high energy, high demand, boundary pushers. We talk about strategies for caregivers and kids around discipline, boundaries, self-regulation and building strong and supportive bonds. We also discuss when there may be something like ADHD or sensory processing differences at play and when it is worth checking in with your child's medical provider about behaviors that may benefit from more therapies or supports.
We would like to thank Dr. Akins for joining us in this episode, although Drs. Dean and Lena take responsibility for any errors or misinformation.
