Ask a Child Psychologist: Real Parenting Questions Answered

From behaviour to emotional regulation, this episode answers real questions parents are asking — with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based guidance.


Let’s get some free therapy — with a child psychology twist!
In this episode, resident child psychologist Faye from Kerr Psychology answers two real questions from two real moms in our community.

Question 1: How do we support young children who express big emotions physically — like hitting, pushing, or lashing out?
Question 2: What can we do about the daily morning chaos — those time management battles that leave everyone stressed?

Whether you're dealing with toddler tantrums, emotional outbursts, or the school-run stress, this episode is for you.

Real parenting struggles. Expert guidance. Honest conversation.

You're not alone — and your question might just help another parent too.
