Why Kids Use Anger to Control and What You Can Do About It

Hey friends,

Have you ever found yourself in a standoff with your child, arms crossed, voice raised, both of you digging in your heels?

Power struggles are exhausting. And when our kids use anger to try to take control, it can feel like the only options are to fight back or give in.

But what if there was a better way?  

I just released this new video that dives deep into why some kids use anger as a control strategy and what we can do about it as heart-based, Jesus-trusting parents.

We’ll look at:

✅ 4 key questions to ask when your child is trying to take control
✅ 7 deeper reasons behind their angry reactions
✅ How to stay firm and empathetic without getting pulled into the drama

If you’ve ever thought, “This kid is trying to run the show!” this is for you.

As always, this isn’t about being perfect parents. It’s about showing up, with God’s help, and reaching our kids’ hearts, even in the hard moments.

So take a minute right now to watch so you're ready for success in these moments that feel tough.  You'll be so glad you did.

All my best,
