Parenting in the Screen Age - The Screenagers Podcast Is It Okay for Kids and Teens to Be Angry With Their Parents?
Parents know it can be tough when their kids and teens get mad at them for establishing a boundary. It can make parents feel uncomfortable, question their boundaries, or shy away from setting them altogether.
Dr. Delaney speaks with psychologist Karen Pavlidis, Ph.D., about how to think about—and what to do about—our struggles when facing our kids' and teens' anger.
How can parents know which boundaries are fair? Why is psychological control a real no-no, and what does research teach us about being overly permissive?
This episode is full of practical pointers—whether you're a parent who feels shaken when your child is angry at you or simply looking for more advice on setting boundaries.
