Tantrums, outbursts, fighting and defiance, if you have children, you have probably experienced these moments more often than not. While some of these types of emotions are learned behavior on the child's part to get what they want, for many these are all powerful emotions or feelings they are experiencing and furthermore, can’t control. The good news is that all hope is not lost and things don't “just have to be this way”, coping skills can be taught and learned to change those dysregulated emotions to regulated ones.
