Difficult Behaviour...Bright Future with Michael Reist
Wed, April 26, 2017, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EDT
Want to know how to handle your children's difficult traits and behaviour?
We can show you how to teach them to channel their behaviour in positive ways.
"Difficult" is in the eye of the beholder. A "difficult" child is not a problem to solve,but a mystery to be understood.
“Difficult” behaviour is a matter of perspective. A trait that is labeled as “difficult” in a child can be seen as admirable in an adult. Martin Luther King Jr. was a charismatic leader who challenged authority. Terry Fox was strong-willed and determined. Jim Carrey…well, he kind of still is the class clown. They didn’t succeed in spite of these traits. They succeeded because of them.
When you better understand your children's behaviour and see how their "difficult" traits can benefit them in the future, you can help them learn to develop their strengths in positive ways.
