How to Not Lose Your Cool with Your Kids, Featuring Dr Carla Naumburg

Carla Naumburg, author of How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids, joins me to talk about why we—yes, our generation—are the ones screaming at our kids… and how we can stop. She says we’re too emotionally invested in our children (ouch, but true), and gives us practical, no nonsense tips for those moments when you’re on the edge of totally losing it.  This one’s for every parent who’s ever locked themselves in the bathroom for a breather.
