Episode 271: Dysregulated Adults: When Your Teen Pushes Every Button You Have

Dr. Ken’s least favorite parenting word may officially be “dysregulated”—which is unfortunate, because that’s exactly what we’re talking about this week.What happens when our teen gets worked up and we match their intensity? Or when one particular kid knows exactly how to push every button we have? Cynthia and Dr. Ken talk about anger, overreacting, emotional parenting, and how our own upbringing can shape the way we respond to our kids.If you’ve ever walked away from an interaction with your teen thinking, “Well... I could have handled that better,” this episode is for you.If you have a minute, please leave us a review.
