A STARTING POINT
Understand One Difficult Behavior Episode
Use this page only after immediate safety needs are addressed and everyone has space to settle. Choose one episode rather than a label such as defiant. Consider what happened before, during, and after it, including the child's experience and the adult response. Understanding context does not erase harm.
