​Understanding & Managing Challenging Behaviors: Personalized Support for Your Family

​

Are you concerned about your child’s behaviors but unsure where to start or which parenting approach—whether it’s gentle parenting, structured guidance, or another method—might be the most effective? Many parents share these concerns and seek clarity on how to support their child while addressing specific behaviors in a way that fosters growth and understanding.

Every child is unique, and finding the right approach requires personalized strategies tailored to their individual needs. Do you find yourself questioning how to respond to certain behaviors, why they are happening, or how to prevent them in the future? If so, I’m here to help you navigate these challenges with practical, evidence-based solutions that work for your family.

 

Common behaviors of concern include:

​​​​

• Physical Aggression – Hitting, kicking, biting, pulling hair, throwing objects, or other harmful actions toward others.​

• Self-Injurious Behavior (SIB) – Headbanging, self-biting, skin-picking, or other behaviors that cause self-harm.​

• Non-Compliance & Tantrums – Refusal to follow instructions, avoidance, arguing, prolonged protests, or emotional outbursts.​

• Safety Concerns & Risky Behaviors – Running away (elopement), climbing unsafe surfaces, accessing dangerous objects, or wandering into unsafe areas.​

• Property Destruction & Disruptions – Breaking items, tearing books, scribbling on walls, or intentionally damaging household objects.
