Anger
You can teach your child that anger is a natural, healthy emotion and like other emotions, anger needs to be expressed appropriately. As a parent, you might find that calming your angry child can be one of the biggest challenges of parenting. There are many things that make children angry, and children feel anger in different ways — just as adults do.

Biting
Children might engage in negative behavior, like biting, to let you know how they feel when they do not have the skills to express themselves. It’s a common behavior that should be addressed immediately. Parents can watch and learn when their child is likely to bite.

Children are naturally curious and interested in insects. Most people like ladybugs because they are pretty. Farmers like ladybugs because they eat aphids and other plant-eating pests.

ESU 16 spent the day learning about the adult and student nervous systems. Thank you Dr. Lori Desautels for a wonderful day of learning!
A meltdown is an escalated moment in that parents often find themselves trying to teach rules or give long explanations. Unfortunately, your child usually does not even hear your words let alone learn the rules when they are having a meltdown. We can use the many calm and happy moments in our day to intentionally teach expectations, rules, and skills that will help our child to be successful and reduce challenging behavior.
