Featured Tips

The best way to deal with tantrums is to avoid them when possible. Try using these tips: try to give toddlers “some” control over things, such as when they will brush their teeth or the flavor of their juice; keep off-limit objects out of their sight and reach; distract your child when possible; choose your battles and accommodate them when you can. Even negative attention is better than no attention at all to a child, so make sure you're attending to the behaviors you want to encourage.

Lives Changed

In comparison to when I entered the support group, my boys have improved tremendously. My sons have gone from having 36 school absentee days, to my 9-year-old recently receiving all As and one B and my 12-year-old continually making the honor roll. It is amazing.
