Understanding what our kids are wrestling with and the developmental goals they are working towards will make their more ‘frustrating’ behaviours easier to deal with. Things will run smoother if we can give them the space and support they need to do whatever it is they need to.
Parents are often the first to observe changes, behavior, and other signs that their child’s development may be atypical.
