Description

Welcome to Tantrum of the Week, the parenting podcast that helps you make sense of your child’s hardest moments. Hosted by Lynn McLean, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor™, each episode explores one real-life tantrum and uncovers the emotional needs, triggers, and stressors underneath.


You’ll learn how to:

  • Understand the why behind your child’s behavior
  • Respond with calm and confidence — not frustration
  • Build emotional regulation skills through connection
  • Use play therapy-informed parenting strategies that actually work


Whether you’re dealing with bedtime battles, sibling fights, or after-school meltdowns, Tantrum of the Week offers practical tips, expert insight, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
