Your Questions About Challenging Behavior, Answered


Listen Later

In this first Thriving Kids Q&A episode, Dr. Dave Anderson answers real parenting questions about kids’ behavior — what it is, how to shape it, and how to support children through challenges.


We cover:

  • How to handle lying, even when kids show no remorse
  • Teaching respect, kindness, and standing up for others
  • Whether there’s such a thing as “good” or “bad” behavior
  • What to do when boys’ behavior becomes more destructive as they grow
  • How to help kids recognize areas for growth without shame
  • What to do when a high-energy child is sensitive to feedback
