Dealing with child behavior is a constant battle with consistency, creativity, and keeping your sanity.

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with more than 15 years of experience working with children at many different levels of need, with many different challenges and as a mother myself, I completely understand what you are going through.

I have tried my best to incorporate useful information on this site that can be used by any parent or professional no matter what challenges you are having with a child. However, I know sometimes it can be difficult knowing what you are looking for or where to start.

Getting Started

If you are faced with challenging child behavior and don’t know why or would like to know reasons why your child may be behaving this way, be sure to review the following information that can help to identify any possible underlying conditions.

You would be surprised at how often children actually have an underlying condition in which the way a child is behaving is only a symptom of that condition. There is also the possibility of a misdiagnosis, such as a diagnosis of ADHD, when there is actually an underlying sensory processing disorder causing similar ADHD symptoms. So be sure to check out the following:
