Do you ever feel like your child is just trying to annoy you? No amount of talking, explaining, rewarding, or encouraging works when you try to get them to cooperate?
Dr. Mona Delahooke, a clinical psychologist and therapist, explains that every child's behavior is driven by a specific need, and they aren't always able to control their reactions due to their slowly maturing nervous system. Therefore, instead of disciplining a child, it's better to use an approach that considers their psychology and biology—their sensory experiences and emotions.
In this guide you will learn how to:
– learn from the child’s behavior what he or she is struggling with in order to respond appropriately,
– notice and interpret body signals sent by the child,
– take care of the child’s well-being, respecting his or her needs, supporting his or her emotional development and social skills,
– finally stop blaming yourself and stressing about the decisions you make every day in your role as a parent.
