I Know My ABCs: Understanding Your Child's Behavior
Have you ever wondered why your child continues a behavior even when you've asked them to stop? In this lesson, you'll learn a fundamental principle of behavior: all behavior serves a purpose. Together, we'll explore the reasons behaviors occur, how behavior communicates needs, and why labels like "stubborn," "defiant," or "attention-seeking" often prevent us from understanding what's really going on. By learning to look beyond the behavior itself and identify the need or purpose behind it, you'll be better equipped to respond with empathy, teach new skills, and support meaningful, lasting change.
