Chris and I seem to have these crazy things happen to us, which definitely keeps life interesting, but also makes me scratch my head. We were driving back to a client of Chris's from Foxwoods Casino at 9:00 pm the other night, with Sam in the back of the car (another story for another time), when my phone beeped indicating an email. Since Chris was driving and I had time to kill, I opened it. The sender address was CBS and scanning it quickly I found it was from the Dr. Phil show. For those of you abroad, Dr. Phil is a therapist who has a national show, he began his televised career on Oprah. Come to find out, one of the producers was going through YouTube videos looking for children having temper tantrums. I use YouTube to upload and share videos with people and make it a practice to set them to "private- can view only with the link," except apparently this video was not on the correct setting. She wanted to know if we were interested in being on the show discussing temper tantrums.
I was reluctant for a number of reasons and didn't know if I should even contact her. After some debate with Chris (who said he would explain it to Sam when he was 16 and mad at us about it), I agreed to speak to her. I offered both Sam and Chris- Chris has better temper tantrums than Sam does, but luckily the show was focusing on 3-8 year olds. No decisions to make there!
My conversation with Rachel, the producer ended with, "if you know anyone who has a 3-8 year old who has tantrums and their parents need help with it, can I have their number?"
I told her I'd ask around and get back to her if I came across anyone .
I can think of a few students, but they're all too old!
