Episode 20: Change Your Child’s Problem Behavior By Establishing Expectations This Way 

Brief summary of episode: 

We want our children to engage in positive behaviors that don't complicate our lives and our home routines. We want them to have their needs met and get the things they want without feeling the need to engage in behaviors that we know are inappropriate.

While you may have laid out expectations before there may have been a step or two missed because instead of meeting those expectations, your child is misbehaving in a real way. To get their behavior together and meet the expectations that you know you set, how about you try it this way. 

Do you want your child to stop their problem behaviors like hitting, verbal aggression, running off and/or throwing tantrums without having to have things always go their way? 

Do you want to have a peaceful home life with a child that behaves and listens the first time without throwing away all the rules?

In today's episode, I share how to establish some firm expectations that create structure and routines that will help eliminate blowups, even if they take place! 

If you're ready to improve your child’s behavior and create some peace in your home life, make sure you listen to this episode!
