Every pre-schooler parent feels that they are alone in the constant meltdowns, manipulations, and indescribable behaviors of their child. You are not alone!

This workshop is designed to explain the functions of these behaviors, and what we as parents can do to minimize and modify them. Our responses to these unwanted behaviors are the most significant determining factors in whether our kids will repeat, change, or stop them.  This workshop will provide you with the understanding of why these behaviors exist, and the tools to navigate various responses for the most positive outcomes in your children.
