The Course
Ever wonder why some kids misbehave and some kids do not? What are the reasons for the misbehavior? The truth is if we don't know where the behaviors are coming from, then we can't apply the correct strategy to get the behavior to stop.
In this one-hour course, we will explore the six major reasons why kids misbehave and disengage and give solutions for each to combat these unwanted behaviors.
