Why Kids Act Out and Don't Listen
Mindful Strategies for Addressing Behavior Challenges
Many parents who want to use a gentle, conscious approach find themselves struggling when their child is acting out or not listening.
We asked a few of the top parenting experts how to address behavior problems at the root. Rather than trying to control a child’s behavior from the top-down, these experts share simple, mindful tools and yell-free techniques that parents can use to tend to the child’s feelings and change the behavior from the bottom-up.
By tending to the root of the behavior, you won’t need to say the same thing over and over again. You can change their behavior–without having to resort to ineffective yelling or consequences–by guiding and teaching your child.
You’ll learn how you can address your child’s behavior in the moment, and build their skills for the long term. You’ll see your child in a new light, and be able to effectively address “behavior issues” while building trust and connection.
Discover a gentle, yet effective way to address kids’ challenging behavior, get kids to listen, help them handle their feelings, speak calmly, and be considerate to others
“Why Kids Act Out and Don't Listen” will help you:
- Finally understand what is going on underneath your child’s behavior to address it at the core
- Know exactly what to say–and when to say it–so you don’t have to repeat yourself over and over again
- Help your kids build new skills, so they can use their words to ask for what they need and they won’t have to resort to “acting out” or “willfully ignoring” you
- Use effective, gentle techniques based on child development and brain science, to help your child grow into their full potential
- Learn techniques that work for kids who have high needs–who are more sensitive, stubborn, or spirited than others
