112: My Post on Kids' Anger Went Viral: I'm Burning These Myths to the Ground.

Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

Show Notes

At the start of this year, I shared a post on Instagram about children and anger, and it went VIRAL.

Hundreds of thousands of parents liked, shared, and commented, because it hit home in such a powerful way.

Why? Because so many of us have been fed myths about what anger in kids means, and what we’re “supposed” to do about it.

So today I broke it all down. 👉 What an angry child doesn’t mean (hint: think entitlement, rudeness, or needing harsher punishments). 👉 What anger really is a signal of... from overwhelm to dysregulation to sensory overload. 👉 How you can respond with calm, confidence, and compassion (instead of conflict).

If you’ve ever felt lost, frustrated, or unsure when your child lashes out, this is the episode that will shift everything.

You’ll leave with a new perspective, and practical strategies to handle anger in a way that builds connection, not chaos.
