"All behavior is communication"...

💭 When a child “acts out,” it’s easy to assume they’re doing it on purpose
But all behavior is communication — it tells us what’s happening beneath the surface. This doesn't mean we don't set limits on the behavior but it does mean we set those limits with compassion and understanding.

Instead of asking “What’s wrong with this child?” try asking,
👉 “What is this behavior trying to tell me?”

Every behavior is a message — we just have to learn how to listen. 💫
