The episode started with fun, scientific-based facts on how genes and environments play a big role in children’s development. Danielle then explained how genes play an important role in the way brains are wired and how it affects people differently when they react to environments.
She also shared the best practices to improve children’s behavior problems and challenges as you implement them. She added that when handling children’s emotions, parents must consider their child’s age, especially in adolescence, and the peers they are with.
Danielle also said it is important for parents to set boundaries with their children since it is also a form of self-care.
When a child is employing behavioral problems, it can strain the parent-child relationship if handled negatively. So parents’ role is crucial in how they can help their children manage and control their emotions.
