Behavior is often a child’s way of communicating. When language skills are still developing, kids may use behavior to express needs, frustrations, or emotions they don’t yet have words for. Some things that have worked for me as a speech therapist include modeling language (shorten it) and providing language that allows boundaries (no, stop). This is general info (and what has worked for some of my kids) not tailored advice for your child. Follow some of my favorite accounts for more info: @aba

Behavior is ONLY a surface issue. It’s not the ROOT. Let’s unpack it.. “All behavior communicates a need.” School systems have been taught to shift unwanted behavior by ignoring or punishing it, but if behavior is communication of a need, we should never ignore it or punish it…we should LOOK UNDER IT. “WHAT is this behavior communicating,” should be the first question every parent, teacher, counselor or student advocate asks. I included a “Name Your Need” chart in my Calm Down Corners (for child
