I know that seeing your child go through difficult situations can be overwhelming and discouraging. When children are having a hard time they don’t always use their words to communicate what they are experiencing. Oftentimes they show it in their behaviors. This can look like tantrums, not listening, avoiding, talking back, misbehaving in school or even self harm. It can be difficult to manage or know what to do when these behaviors occur. Guiding your child through the stages of growing up can be challenging but you don't have to do it alone.
