Behavioral Challenges
Behavioral challenges in children can take on many forms, from a toddler who hits a child and who seems to go from 0-60 because their banana wasn’t cut the way they wanted. But behavioral challenges don’t have to leave you (or your child) feeling powerless. There are ways to set children up for success, teach children more appropriate ways to manage their feelings, and set up consistent consequences for disrespectful and aggressive behavior. Here you’ll learn how to deal with a child with anger issues, as well as how to discipline a child who is acting out, without resorting to getting angry yourself.
