Parenting a child with big feelings isn’t easy.
When your child is screaming and hitting, it’s hard to stay calm.
Your child is losing control, and so are you.
Every fight seems to turn into an endless power struggle and you just can't seem to win.
You end up feeling exhausted and defeated.
No matter what you try, shouting, time-outs, consequences, punishment,
nothing seems to help.
You ask yourself: Shouldn't I be able to control my child and help them calm down?
