From Dr. B

Remember how exciting it was to get your driver’s license as a teenager? I do. It was exhilarating. But now, as the parent of two teenage drivers, my excitement for them is often overshadowed by anxiousness and worry.

Parenting toddlers and young children is a hard job! Even the most even-tempered mom or dad can lose their cool when a rambunctious three-year-old acts up. What is a parent to do when their young child does something unacceptable?
