Where You Are | S4 E5 | February 8, 2023
Children can behave in challenging ways at many different stages of life. From tantrums and angry outbursts, to disruptive behaviour and constant negotiations, managing difficult behaviour is often a part of parenting and caregiving. Where You Are hosts Bryn and Char speak with Jeremy, dad of 2, and Dr. Janet Mah about why challenging behaviours show up. They also share strategies to support your kids both before big behaviours occur and during moments when things are escalated. Learn how these approaches can help you to continue building a positive relationship with your child.
