Episode Details

It’s 5:49 p.m. The kids are bouncing off the walls, nobody wants what’s on their plate, someone’s crying (maybe you), and you can feel the fuse burning down. Then it happens: you yell. If that’s your house most nights, you’re in good company. On this episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer takes on the end-of-day meltdown, the parent kind. Is it normal to lose it? Why does it always seem to happen at the same time of day? And is all that yelling actually hurting your kids? Joining her is psychiatrist, author and NBC News commentator Dr. Saumya Dave, who explains what’s really happening when parents hit their breaking point, the early warning signs to watch for, and how to repair things after you’ve said something you wish you could take back. Hit play before tonight’s witching hour. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
