Childhood anger seems to be more and more prevalent these days. Children are acting out, having bigger tantrums, they are moer distracted, and have less focus. There even seems to be a rise in children that are harming themselves and have suicidal ideation. There has to be a way to reach these children! Dr. Nicole Cain, Naturopathic Physician and Clinical Psychologist, talks to us about some of the methods she uses to reach these children AND their parents, in her clinical practice.
