"My child acts out more when I'm home from work"

On this episode of Monday Mornings with Dr. Mona, I welcome Lauren to chat about her toddler son who acts out more when she’s home from work. We discuss:

• Why tantrums are more triggering after a long day
• Why children may act this way after seeing you after a long period away
• How to navigate these moments
