Behavior 

Behavior is the way your child shares their thoughts, emotions, needs, and sensory experiences. Every behavior has a reason. When children have difficult behaviors, we ask ourselves, "What is my child trying to tell me?" By understanding the cause, caregivers can better support their child and create positive opportunities for learning and growth.
