Q&A: Why does my child lose it more with me than anyone else?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

2:18 - You are not alone! Kids holding it together all day with other people and melting down with us is very common (and healthy, even!)

2:57 - How to make transitions smoother to help reduce dysregulation when children get home.

7:26 - Children do behave differently with different caregiver and parents respond differently to different children. This is typical and normal, but there are shifts we can make to interrupt these patterns if they're not working for the family.

11:55 - Reframing your interpretation of your child's big emotions as a necessary release, rather than a problem that needs to be fixed.

14:30 - The interpretation that your child is messiest with your because they feel safest with you may be true and validating, but it doesn't mean they feel unsafe with you if the inverse is the case.
