Dr. Mona on Tantrums, Fighting, and Big Feelings  
Podcast: Talkaboutable with Dr. Susan Swick
Published On: Tue Jul 21 2026
Description: How can parents handle their kids’ tantrums? In this episode, Dr. Swick talks with Dr. Mona Amin, board-certified pediatrician and founder of PedsDocTalk, about meltdowns, physical fights, and big feelings. They’ll explore why tantrums can be so triggering for parents, how to repair when you lose your cool, and the tried and true methods Dr. Mona uses with her own kids.  Talkaboutable is produced by Lemonada Media, in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, and made possible through funding from the Montage Health Foundation. Together, we are committed to helping families talk about the issues children, teens, and young adults are facing today. We believe that when these conversations happen at home — even about the most challenging subjects — children build the skills they need to flourish. Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable. Stay up to date with Lemonada on X, Facebook and Instagram at @LemonadaMedia.Joining Lemonada Premium is a great way to support our shows and get bonus content.
