August 13, 2025
Does name calling exist between your children? On this episode of Practice Makes Parent, Dr. Danny Huerta and Ginger Hubbard speak with Jim Daly and John Fuller about how teasing could become bullying, and how it may ultimately damage your children's self-esteem. Whether words come from in the home or at school, there is a line that can be crossed, and we'll discuss what parents can do and say to their children when teasing becomes hurtful. Danny and Rebecca also share a listener question about how to work through anger and yelling.
