Today, I invite you to remember that behavior is communication. The transition to daylight savings time can be challenging. They won’t go to bed and they won’t get up in the morning!
This can temporarily increase your stress at home. What your child needs in the midst of their button-pushing behavior is an anchor, not an adversary!
Imagine this--> Your child is like a boat tossed about on the waves of big feelings. The urge is to jump in the boat with them to try to help, especially when a storm is raging!
