How do we help kids with intense anger when their parents say they "refuse" to try the strategies they have been taught? Guest Jessica Sinarski shares her trauma-informed strategies to teach children about their brain and help them understand and regulate their emotions. Whether it is helping them strengthen that "staircase" between their upstairs brain and their downstairs brain or helping them get familiar with their "acting before thinking" and "thinking before acting" teams, Jessica has clear and effective strategies that clinicians and parents can implement easily.
