@attachmentnerd: There are no bad kids. There are kids who lack the brain development for impulse control, there are kids who are navigating trauma or tension in their lives, there are kids with neurodivergent brains and kids with health conditions, there are kids in the middle of hormonal changes, there are kids testing out boundaries, there are kids being bullied or abused, and most common of all, there are kids—-simply in the midst of figuring things out as they grow. And a bad behaving kid also does not mean that a parent is bad or failing either. Children are incredibly complex beings in a developmental process (I see the rest of us that way too.) When a child is struggling and we take the time to look underneath their behavior and into their experiences of the world and their unmet needs, we help them build a meaningful (and shame free) path into learning.

Love on. #parenting #parentsoftiktok #parentingbooks
