In this episode of Mother U with Rachel Norman, we explore why children misbehave in social settings, how to navigate the stress and self-blame, and practical strategies to respond calmly while maintaining authority and connection.
Learn how to handle public misbehavior without letting it impact your confidence or your relationship with your child.
We’re chatting about:
- Why children act out in social settings and what it really means
- Techniques for managing parental embarrassment and guilt
- How to respond effectively to misbehavior while preserving your child’s dignity
Tune in to discover strategies that reduce stress, strengthen your parenting confidence, and help your kids navigate social expectations successfully.
