Why is Everyone Yelling?

Julia is nationally recognized as an award-winning children’s book author and parenting expert. There is probably a book that Julie has authored that tackles an issue or a subject that you are hoping to work on with your children. She has presented in thousands of schools across the country and abroad, regularly speaks at national education and counseling conferences. She has published nearly 100 children’s books with a wide range of characters and social development topics. Her books showcase her innate ability to enter the worldview of a children who can then use her storybooks to grow. Julia gives children both the “what to say” and the “how to say it.”

What I love about Julia is her biggest goal is to find a creative way to give children the tools to be life long problem solvers.

Kellie is a board certified behavior analyst. She is the founder of her own business, Applied Behavioral Happiness. At Applied Behavioral Happiness, Kellie and her team work with families to overcome challenging behavior through skill building programs and play. 

What I love about Kellie is that she approaches this with what will work with your kids, your family, your belief systems, your values. It’s not a one size fits all plan for how to handle behavior issues with your child.

Some things that we talked about in this episode were how to change behavior without forcing change in your child, when tried and true advice doesn’t work, our triggers, your child’s triggers. I walked away with some tangible skills that I am going to walk away for my own family!

I shared some real life experiences that I’ve had with my own kids that I had Kellie analyze that I thought would be helpful for people listening. 

What we talked about:

4:05- What Applied Behavioral Happiness is and what lead her to this career path

7:45- What clients are typically looking for when they work with her

10:35- When to seek out intervention for your child
