Episode 3 Tantrums & More: Regulate Yourself First

Brian and Dave discuss one of the loudest (and most common) parts of parenting — when kids throw massive tantrums and have big emotional meltdowns. We also talk about other loud forms of emotional expression and, most importantly, our responsibility as parents to regulate our own emotions — especially when our kids can't. In this episode: • Why kids have tantrums and what they're really trying to say • How to respond without escalating the situation • The power of modeling emotional regulation • Handling your own anger and frustration in the heat of the moment If you've ever felt yourself losing it right alongside your kid, this one's for you.
