Is My Child A Monster? A Parenting Therapy Podcast Tim & Natasha Part 3 of 4: When You Lose Your Cool
This episode with Tim and Natasha and their 6-year-old daughter Rosie focuses on the reality of actually implementing the parenting skills they've learned in the previous two sessions. And the reality is it's often trickier than it seems and requires lots of patience. It's easy to get triggered by the frustration of not seeing immediate results with your kid, and so this episode discusses multiple strategies for identifying and dealing with those reactive emotions when parenting.
