She covers staying calm during tantrums, how to approach grandparents who have different parenting methods, and what happens when a parent's emotions get heightened. Lastly, Lisa addresses ten listener questions, discussing how to not get embarrassed by public toddler tantrums, how to go about helping a 4-year-old self-regulate when they get angry, what to do when a toddler screams at parents when given choices, and how to handle struggles with getting in the car. She then explores why a 4-year-old wants to discuss what they did wrong after a tantrum, the specific reasoning for why you should ignore tantrums over wants, whether tantrum advice differs when the child isn’t actually mad, how to manage tantrums around bedtime, why some 4-year-old tantrums are worse in public, and how to respond when an 11-year-old gets upset when a parent goes to bed.
