Responding with sensitivity when it's hard

As an API Leader, I frequently give parents guidance on ways to respond to their children in different situations. But the truth is, I don't always follow my own advice. As all parents know, it's one thing to be removed from a situation and think about solutions rationally; it's quite another to deal with a public tantrum or a kid who won't go to bed when you are exhausted and frustrated. That's why it's important to have tools at your disposal to cope with these situations before they arise.

API Leader and mother, Alexis Schrader offers some tips to parents for taming an unwanted response to a tantrumming child.
