In this episode, we are continuing our 5 Part Series on managing problem behaviors. You may wonder what is causing the acting out behavior in your child and there are 5 reasons that may be contributing to your child’s problematic behavior. In part 1, I talked about Communication Challenges as a possible reason, and in Part 2, I focused on Environmental Influences as another possible reason. In Part 3, I helped you understand how Neurodevelopmental Factors play a part in problem behaviors. In Part 4, we explored Social and Emotional Learning Gaps and how they contribute to problem behaviors. And for our last part in this series, we take a deep dive into Trauma or Adverse Experiences as a factor. Tune in until the end where I share some very practical trauma-informed strategies that will help you support the child in your life who is struggling.

Well in this episode, I will help you understand how Neurodevelopmental Factors play a part in problem behaviors. We will explore Social and Emotional Learning Gaps and Trauma or Adverse Experiences in the last 2 episodes of the series. Children with neurodivergent brains have behaviors that we need to understand before we can help shape the behavior into something that is more acceptable.

This episode’s topic is both important and challenging: Why do some kids struggle with problem behavior? It's a question that many parents, educators, and caregivers grapple with, and understanding the underlying factors can make a significant difference in how we approach and support these children. We start by acknowledging that every child is unique, and there's no universal answer to why some kids exhibit problem behavior. It's a nuanced topic that involves a combination of factors. One significant aspect to consider is that children often communicate through behavior.
In this episode, we explore some of the common contributing factors that contribute to why your child may be experiencing problematic behavior. So listen until the end to find out more about how you can support your child in managing their behavior.

Life can be full of surprises - some good and some not so good. But when parents are dealing with something hard, often our kids are, too. And though our kids are usually our number one priority, ironically they often take a backseat when we're trying to survive whatever it is we're trying to survive. Our special guest, Sara Olsher, has a goal and that is to help parents help their kids during the worst thing that's ever happened to them — that could be a divorce or a health crisis.
She leaves us with actionable takeaways that will help, whether you’re in crisis or just surviving life with kids. She shares what works in reducing anxiety and also shares with us why open communication is so essential. Our children need coping skills just like we do, and there are certain types that kids need long-term to be resilient when their lives get tough. So get ready for some real talk today.

WARNING: Controversial Topic
Let me ask you a question. What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “financial literacy”? Is this something that only parents should teach their children or do you think the schools should add this as a part of the education system? I’ve heard many old school parents say that they took a class or two in this area where they learned how to balance a checkbook and learned about basic financial principles that may not have been taught at home. I’ve also seen on rare occasions, classroom teachers who turn their entire class into a token economy where students pay rent for desk and earn class money for doing their work. The token economy may work in an elementary school or middle school setting but what about in a high school setting? Should it be a separate class period dedicated to teaching financial principles? Well, believe it or not, some states are requiring this to be included in the standard curriculum while others are not. But why? To help us take a deeper dive, our special guest is going to shed some light on this situation and give you tools you need to address the issues with your school board.
