When your child…
Screams: “I Hate You!”
REfuses:
Brushing teeth
Taking a shower
Doing homework
Putting things away
Every. Single. Day.
Hits, fights, argues:
with siblings, friends or teachers
THEY are NOT “bad”, “naughty” or “manipulative…”
their behaviour is a signal that they’re struggling
Struggling to cope with lifes expectations
They haven’t quite got the skills yet…
IN cps We focus on solving the “struggle”
TOGETHER.
As parters.
Lagging skills. Not lagging motivation.
