Deep Dive: Are Your Kids Calling the Shots?  
Podcast: The Dr. Laura Podcast

Description: Do you believe you’re failing as a parent? Does it feel like you’ve lost control and your kids are using tantrums, tears and other strategies to run the show? The first thing you need to understand is that you cannot rationalize with a child. They’re selfish little creatures who want their immediate needs gratified. They are in their emotions and want what they want. And they’ll make a lot of noise while trying to get your attention or bend you to their will. Call 1-800-DR-LAURA / 1-800-375-2872 or make an appointment at DrLaura.comFollow me on social media:Facebook.com/DrLauraInstagram.com/DrLauraProgramYouTube.com/DrLauraJoin My Family!!Receive my Weekly Newsletter + 20% off my Marriage 101 course & 25% off Merch!
