Do you find yourself trying to stop your child’s big emotions before they get out of control? Do you have big emotions yourself? Today’s guest is a mentor of ours who loves to help parents learn along with their children how to constructively use their emotions.
Her name is Peggy Osborne, and she worked in public schools for over 25 years as a teacher and administrator. After retiring, she partnered with her daughter and daughter-in-law to found You Are My Treasure to speak at women’s events, parent workshops, and teacher trainings.
This is a must-listen if you have ever had a toddler (or older child for that matter) throw a big, embarrassing tantrum at the most inopportune time! Listen in as Peggy shares stories about controlling our emotions and practical steps to teach our children.
#004 – Peggy Osborne of You Are My Treasure joins Alan & Corrie to talk about how to help our kids identify and know what to do with their emotions (when we usually just tell them what not to do…”STOP SLAMMING THE DOOR!”)
