The imaginary door on the imaginary fire truck won’t open.
You cut the toast… wrong.
The cat cheated to win the game.
These are some of the things toddlers have tantrums over. 

Most young children have tantrums and they aren’t an indication your parenting skills are lacking. You can try to prevent them by observing your child’s emotions and helping them reduce stress but when it comes to reacting? Well that’s the trickiest part. 

In this episode Kate talks with Maryann Lomax with some strong ideas on how to prevent and respond to the tantrums our children throw… without throwing our own tantrums.

One thing about being a parent – there’s no shortage of personalities to be surrounded by. Our kids, our partners, our family, our friends. They keep us laughing, growing, loving, and crying. If only they understood us. Like the musician Van Morrison once sang “When people understand what I mean, mama said there will be days like this.” Adelaide Australia’s Kate Mason is an author, wife, and mother who has spent her career studying personality and relationships. In this podcast she looks at why relationships work, and why some don't. She also looks at how our personalities impact our relationships and examines what compels our children, husbands, wives and others to behave the way they do. This podcast is designed to help you understand those you love. A half hour listening on your own, will connect you with the ones you care about the most.

Parenting is a tough gig, but the podcast Parenting and Personalities brings you closer to the ones you care about the most.
