In this video, you'll learn what to do when your child hits, kicks, or throws things during a meltdown and why punishment makes it worse. I'll show you a research-backed approach that protects everyone's safety, teaches emotional regulation, and strengthens connection. You'll discover how calm, consistent boundaries help your child build true self-control and lasting respect.
New to my podcast? I'm Dr. Lindsay Emmerson, a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I help parents find that sweet spot between support and structure that psychology research tells us is best for families now and best for our kids in the future.
