How do you know when your child is successful? 🤔❔

Alfred Adler and his students broke life down into 5 areas they called life tasks. Parents, teachers, and other important adults can observe the child’s behavior in each of these areas and determine where the child may need extra support. 👪

Raising a well-rounded child is an important and challenging job. It is also very rewarding. If you or your child needs extra support in one or more of these areas, learn more at https://www.butterflybeginningscounseling.com/2023/02/06/supporting-your-child-at-mastering-the-5-tasks-of-life/
