How we can improve our kids’ mental health with Tessa Stuckey

“Hangry” is a REAL thing. So is the “witching hour”.

Not only have we all seen a child throw themselves on the floor or stomp off for what seems like the silliest, most minute things but we ourselves, have been known to fly off the handle (or as I like to say “flip our lid”) over something so small and trivial.

Then we hear that voice in our head say to us “What the bejeezus just happened? Why did you yell about that?!”.

I will tell you why…because someone in that scenario was feeling out of whack and lost their cool.

I yelled at my kids this morning.

I simply lost it. Usually, I’m not a yeller. I’m the one who keeps all my frustrations hidden until they insidiously eat away at me until I’m curled up in a little ball, crying on the couch.

It’s not healthy.

But yelling, oh man. My kids had finally found my button.
