10 Options When Kids Mess Up (Without Messing Up Your Night!) #597

About this episode

Kirk Martin discusses effective strategies for addressing behavioral issues in strong-willed children without causing meltdowns.

Even if you do it in a really sweet way, your child gets furious and lashes out or screams or even covers his or her ears. Does your child blame others and refuse to listen?
