Dr. Chheda – Parent-teacher conferences are coming up, and a lot of you may hear, “I wish I had 20 Johnnys in my classroom.” And you’re thinking to yourself, “This is not the same child that the teacher is talking about.” But no, it is. And what happens is that kids are really good, and they can hold it together. But when they hold it together, it’s almost like shaking a soda bottle. Where they hold it together, they hold it together, they hold it together so well, then they come home and they explode. Home is their safe place. They’re allowed to be a little bit more free here. Think about what you do when you go to work. You hold it all together, you don’t curse out the boss, and then you come home and you vent. That’s what kids do as well too. Give them their safe space.
