Why Is My Child In Charge

Frustrated, exhausted, and helpless...That sums up how many parents feel about dealing with their child, who has morphed from a sweet baby into a whiny, difficult, temper tantrum-throwing tyrant. Too often, caring moms and dads who know what they’re supposed to do—set limits and boundaries—wind up either caving in to their little one’s demands or resorting to tactics that are ultimately ineffective. Why can’t they control a tiny child—or themselves? Today, we have invited Claire Lerner to join our conversation. Claire is a child development specialist with over 30 years of working with children and families. She is here to talk with us about how we can better understand our children’s behavior.
