Ever dealt with a mid-tantrum twist that involves unexpected moments, like your child deciding it's the perfect time for a vomit surprise? Well, fear not, because the answer lies in a strategy called attention extinction! ⁠
⁠
Attention extinction is like hitting pause on the parental spotlight during those intense tantrum scenes. It involves strategically withdrawing attention, allowing the tantrum to run its course without the usual reactions. ⁠
⁠
Think of it as a theatrical performance: your child's meltdown is the show, and attention extinction is turning off the spotlight. With no audience reactions (that's you!) feeding into the drama, the tantrum loses its intensity. Ready to add this effective parenting tool to your repertoire? Double tap if you want more tips like these, and tag a fellow parent who needs this insight! ⁠

IMAGINE something you’re going through right now with your child and repeat after me, “This is a stage, I’m going to figure it out”. Ground yourself, breathe and envision yourself of a sturdy tree rooted in the ground. The leader you know you are. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves out of a spiral and give ourselves a little perspective.

Registered Behavior Technicians are also sometimes called “shadows.” But let me tell you, there are many types of shadows - some are glorified babysitters, and others are trained and skilled Behavior Technicians. Guess which ones we send out to our clients?

RBT’s have to meet eligibility requirements. They have to apply, take and pass the RBT exam, receive ongoing supervision, adhere to ethics, and renew their certificate annually. They are experienced and educated folks who truly understand the science of behavior.

These people know their stuff! They research and implement scientific methods to decrease inappropriate behavior and increase appropriate ones. In addition, they keep and provide data consistently observing and documenting to provide interventions and analyze individual behavior trends so problem solve and set goals for each child to improve.

So the next time you are looking for a “shadow” consider what quality of professional you are looking for and what you’re really getting for your money. Shoot us a comment or question below. We are ALWAYS here to help 🤩 🙏🏻

Sometimes people mistakenly feel that behavior intervention overlooks feeling or the importance of the parent-child relationship. Sure, there are behaviorists out there that practice this type of intervention but not us, not here at FBBS!

Being a clinical psychologist heading this venture means that I have a wider view of the picture. I see not only the behavior but also the relationship. I see the system in action. So the way we intervene with behaviors takes into co side ration both classical behavior principals and also relational and attachment concepts - yes, it is possible to combine the two.

Strict behaviorism overlooks the importance of the parent-child relationship. We do both. We are both. In our eyes, being in tune with your child is just as important as having the brilliant behavior technique. If we stay in tune with our child's needs, and we set our children up to behave well, It is possible to have solid behavior management and attend to the relationship simultaneously.

What are some strategies you use to remain in tune with your child?

Tantrums and tears, anger and fears - most likely your child is trying to express something to you that he or she can’t say in words. It could be that they want a snack or a toy. It could also mean that your child is afraid of the dark at bedtime.

For young children, behavior is a form of communication that’s used to meet their needs. It’s how they let you know they either want something or want to avoid something.

Understanding what your child is trying to express can help you better respond to their needs, and help your child learn more positive ways to communicate.

When you observe their behavior, look for clues that can help you get to the root of the problem. What is happening before and after it begins? If you can identify the purpose of your child’s behavior, you can come up with other strategies to address his or her needs to encourage positive behaviors

Knowing that each behavior is a form of communication, you can help your child build the necessary skills to communicate more effectively.

Finding the function (or purpose) of a behavior might seem complicated but this is our area of specialty. Save our number for when you need it 👍

In toddlerhood, new adventures happen daily. This stage is full of changes, challenges and also rewarding new experiences for you and your child.

Learning is hard work for a toddler. Not having the vocabulary to voice feelings of stress or frustration can lead a toddler to have tantrums and meltdowns - and not always in the comfort of your own home. When they are filled with turmoil and opposite feelings, and the need to feel protected and independent at the same time - it's during this time of growth and learning that parents need patience AND an understanding of what's happening inside a toddler. Crazy, brain frazzling behaviors are a normal part of toddlerhood.

When we see a child for who they are, and can understand the inner turmoil of being both big AND little, we can take a pause, take a breath and know that this too shall pass. I salute you. The struggle is REAL

Remember to take a deep breath and hang on and enjoy the ride together.

Now tell me you have a toddler without telling me you have a toddler!

Let's talk about summer! The weather is warmer, children are out of school - summer is often the best time for families to get outdoors together and make the most of the long, lazy days.

It can be challenging when we get so tied up with the daily hustle and bustle. It’s very easy to forget to be in the moment with the people closest to us - our family.

This summer, I encourage you to make it a memorable one when you switch over to ‘family and loved ones’ mode and turn off your email notifications instead.

Solid discipline is dependent on a good relationship; we can’t ever forget that. Overly focusing on strategies in my parenting work with families is never the goal. The key is to find a balance working on the relationship dynamics while integrating effective tools. It’s in this balance that the magic happens. ⁠

Parents, helping our children learn how to self-soothe is definitely the goal, but when we can self soothe ourselves and come into balance in the midst of chaos, life just becomes so much easier. Not only will be leading by example, but we will also be keeping our sanity. And by finding our own center, we can overcome any challenges that come our way. Next time your child is throwing a tantrum, take a deep breath and come back into a place of self-care and love. The tantrum will pass, and you won’t have the negative repercussions that come with giving in to the chaos.⁠
