Let’s face it, every child has one of those moments when tempers flare which can quickly morph into them throwing, kicking or shouting. In the midst of it, you can feel quite helpless and having the tools to react appropriately can be invaluable. You can learn how to diffuse a situation and support a child to develop and gain the skills they need to regulate their behaviour.
We’ll be talking about effective strategies that you can use and how you feel when you are at the receiving end of the challenging behaviour, whether it is refusing to wear certain clothes or it is a full-blown tantrum. We’ll explore how you feel when the tantrum is in full flight and how you can help a child to regulate their behaviour.
Talking to babies can increase their intelligence. Developing a baby’s language is all about quality and quantity as well as non-verbal communication. Using everyday routines or activities to promote language.
