What Do You Do When You're Afraid of Your Own Child?

from All Of It with Alison Stewart · host WNYC

What happens when your child has violent outbursts, or acts out violently? What if that child seems unable to control their emotions or their behavior? The truth is, there are very few resources to help parents in this situation. Journalist Julie Brenner Davich spoke to some parents struggling with this issue for her New York Magazine piece "The Quiet Shame of Fearing Your Own Child." She explains her reporting, and listeners share their own experiences.  Stock image from SolStock/iStock via Getty Creative Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
