Just as you walk in the door from a long day at work, your tween gets off the bus. She throws her backpack against the wall, runs to her bedroom, and slams the door shut while screaming that she hates school. Yikes! What could have happened to cause that kind of outburst?
Maybe she's just had a rough day. But chances are there’s a lot more going on.
Marc Brackett, Ph.D., the Founder and Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and a Professor in the Child Study Center of Yale University, joins Mighty Mommy to discuss scenarios similar to this and, more importantly, what we can do to help.
