Parenting Behavior: What is behavior?

Some parents think about behavior in a negative way, like a problem they don’t want to deal with. But the truth is, behavior is just a form of communication.

On this bonus episode of The Opportunity Gap, we’re sharing an episode from another Understood podcast, Parenting Behavior with Dr. Andy Kahn. Listen as Dr. Andy explains the truth behind kids’ actions. And gives tips for how parents can respond to their kids’ challenging behaviors. 

Visit the episode page for a transcript and links to helpful resources.

We’d love to hear from you. Write to us at opportunitygap@understood.org.
