Recognize that challenging behavior in young children is a form of communication.
00:32
So if a child throws a tantrum, they're actually trying to communicate, but because they are too young, they don't really know how to properly do so.
00:41
So they're trying to express an unmet need, discomfort, or confusion.
00:48
Observe the behavior without immediate judgment.
00:51
Try to understand what the child might be communicating communicating and realize that the child is not mature enough to know how to communicate it properly.

Once a challenging behavior is identified, we should find the root cause.
01:08
So conduct a root cause analysis.
01:22
This involves trying to understand the underlying reasons for the behavior.
01:27
We should look beyond factors that might be influencing it like environmental conditions, emotional needs, discomfort.
01:35
So maybe the child is simply hungry or the environment is too hot or cold or maybe they're going through something that would negatively impact their emotions.
01:50
Maybe their parents are having some sort of conflict...
