Understand Behavior Before Changing
- Understanding your child's bad behavior is essential to changing it effectively.
- Change comes only after comprehension of the underlying reasons.

- This leads to anxious adults less tolerant of feelings like disappointment or sadness.
Build Resilience Through Tolerance
- Build children's resilience by helping them tolerate frustration instead of avoiding it.
- Encourage kids to face challenges and embrace hard emotions without giving immediate solutions.
