Episode 7: Behavior- Stacking the Deck So Everyone Wins

Sometimes we get so focused on what to do after bad behavior happens that we forget about what we can do before it happens: that is; what we can do to make it more likely that a child will be able to tell others what they need without acting out, and also to follow directions when they need to. Today Kelly Pelzel, PhD, will be talking about three things that you can use to stack the deck in your favor -- and in your child’s favor -- when it comes to your child’s behavior.  The three things she will talk about are: using child-led play, setting things up so it’s easier for your child to do what they are told, and giving directions effectively.
