Is Sheltering in Place Creating a Powder Keg in Your Home?

12/4/2020 7:32 pm

We're more likely to become angry with our children than anyone else in our lives...because we love them the most! And they are more likely to become angry with us or their siblings for the same reason. Add a little frustration, a little isolation, a little worry, and we've got a recipe for some pretty big explosions! As parents, even though we know that we're more effective when we're calm, it's hard to get that when when this global pandemic has all of us stress to the max. We'll talk in this class about how to handle our own negative emotions and how to help children to both express their anger appropriately and solve their problems effectively. Beth Proudfoot is a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 year of experience working with children and their families. She is a co-author of The Magic of Positive Parenting, and has spoken at conferences for the National Center for Self Esteem, the NAEYC, California Mothers of Twins and the California Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools in addition to schools and daycares throughout California. Beth is also the mother of three grown children and brings a wealth of personal experience (and a much-needed sense of humor) to her parenting advice. The funding is made possible by TikTok, a short-form video app and PTA Proud National Sponsor.
