Summary: Every year my husband and I watch Home Alone to start the holiday season off right and every year I hear the things the adults in the movie say to Kevin (the protagonist) and I just cringe! Instead of calming the situation down, they exacerbate it. So, before the holidays, I wanted to review how you can turn a bad situation into a better one using effective communication and discipline. And if you just need some help figuring out what to do about holiday tantrums (how to mitigate them and stop them when they happen), check out Fireborn's article in A Child Grows in Brooklyn "Dealing with Holiday Tantrums": http://achildgrows.com/2017/12/11/dealing-holiday-tantrums/
