Hey there friend,

You’ve been there. Your child gets upset, you help them take a break, and yet… the anger lingers. Maybe they’re still grumpy, stomping around, or just not ready to move on.

Why does this happen? And more importantly—what can you do about it?

That's exactly why I made this week's video:

Anger is a big emotion, and kids don’t always know how to process it on their own. They need a clear, guided path to work through their frustration and truly let it go. That’s exactly what I’ll walk you through in my latest video.

In this video, you’ll learn:
✔️ The 3 phases kids need to go through to process anger
✔️ The key parenting decisions and actions that can make or break their ability to move on
✔️ How to help your child calm—without forcing emotions to disappear

This is a game-changer for kids who struggle with lingering anger. So check out this week's video! You'll be so glad you did.

All my best,

B.J.
