It’s easy to label children’s behaviour as “good” or “bad.” It’s harder — but infinitely more meaningful — to ask why. 💭
Every meltdown, every defiant “no,” and every moment of sudden, “moody” silence carries information for us: about safety, overwhelm, and even needs that can’t be spoken of yet.
The more we understand the layers behind behaviour, the more we realise: children aren’t giving us a hard time, they’re *having* a hard time.
