Episode 59

When our children are misbehaving, we often assume that they are “choosing” to do what they are doing.

In reality, their negative behaviors and attitudes are more likely a sign of missing skills than a choice they are making.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The science behind why children don’t “choose” negative behaviors and attitudes
• Why the fact that this behavior isn’t a choice does NOT mean that we excuse the behavior
• One simple shift you can make that will more effectively lead to positive behavior
