💥 Do you feel like your child's behavior is explosive or out of control? 💥
You’re not alone! Many parents face similar challenges, and it’s not about being a "bad parent"—it’s about understanding your child’s unique needs.

According to Dr. Ross Greene’s book The Explosive Child, kids act out not because they want to, but because they lack key skills in flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving.

🎯 The good news? You can help your child build these skills using Dr. Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, especially Plan B:
1️⃣ Empathy: Understand your child’s perspective.
2️⃣ Define the Problem: Share your concerns calmly.
3️⃣ Invitation: Brainstorm solutions together.

✨ Remember, progress takes time and patience, but small steps lead to big changes. You’ve got this! 💛

🌟 Need support? The LEAP Clinic is here to help you and your child navigate challenging moments and thrive together.
