How do you deal with your kids when they are showing defiant behavior? Yell, punish, banish them from everything they love for weeks on end. Behaviour Therapist Amelia Bowler shows us how to get on the same page and live a happy life even when our kids test every last bit of our patience. Whether your kids are in the blue, yellow or red zone depends on how much they can learn about how to navigate feelings and come out even better on the other end.
