My husband called me on a Sunday afternoon "babe, Elias has a fish hook stuck in his nose, I'm just gonna pull it out." Um...NO!! But you guys...There was a fish hook. In his nose. The barb was in. And somehow — SOMEHOW — I did not completely fall apart.

In this episode of Why Am I Yelling?, I'm breaking down exactly what happened, why I didn't panic, and the six tools I now swear by when parenting goes sideways fast. We're talking about the difference between being a REACTOR and a RESPONDER in a crisis — and how you can actually build that skill before you need it. Whether your kid has ever had a fishing-related facial emergency or just the regular kind of chaos, this one's for you. 🎣👃
