Securely Attached Q&A: How do I get my 3-year-old to stop screaming at me whenever she gets frustrated?
Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...
- How to incorporate the parenting knowledge you've acquired without losing sight of your own gut instincts.
- Understanding what your job as a parent is when your child feels thwarted (and why making them stop yelling might not be your true end goal)
- Unpacking the underlying question of: What do I do if my child is screaming volitionally as a manipulation tactic?
- Whether your child is in a full-blown tantrum or just slightly dysregulated, the key strategies for addressing their underlying struggle.
- How to respond to the behaviors (like yelling, eating, spitting, etc.) that you have no true control over.
- How to find that middle space between not making your child feel responsible for your feelings without having to abandon all your own needs.
