We’ve received a few messages letting us know that a couple of pages on our website, challengingbehavior.org, aren’t working quite right. Thank you so much for reaching out — we really appreciate your patience and support!

Our team is already working behind the scenes to fix those issues so we can continue bringing you the helpful resources you know and love.

In the meantime, why not spend a little time with Suri the Spider? Her story is available in several languages, and it’s a great way to stay connected while we tidy things up.

Your kids are always watching your relationship.

They're watching those sweet little moments you have together.
They're watching if you’re affectionate towards each other.
They're watching how you talk about & treat each other.
They're watching how you handle disagreements & conflicts.

They’re learning from you, so make sure you work hard to show them what a healthy and happy relationship looks like. 💗
