Paperback. Condition: Good. Everyone has heard about how children go through the Terrible Twos. What if you were to find out that this frustrating behavior has order in it? That the misbehavior comes and goes in a predictable way, and each cycle brings with it an amazing new transformation? In this groundbreaking book, Amber Domoradzki presents her research which found that toddlers go through 12 predictable cycles between the ages of 18 months and 3 years old. During each cycle, they fall apart for a period of time, becoming whiny, possessive, jealous, angry, clumsy, or confused, but then have a dramatic burst of new ability. In this book you'll find, for each milestone, expanded details about each, ways to handle the difficult behavior, and activities to help develop toddlers' enormous mental growth. Discover why you can expect a huge meltdown around 2 years, 7 months when you try to leave the park: because the child is coming to their first understanding that there is a past, present, and future. Learn about the many new exciting abilities that develop in the toddler years, including reasoning capability, empathy, and a sense of right and wrong. The goal of Misbehavior is Growth is to help you see these age-related behaviors not as times of disrespect or naughtiness but as developmentally critical times to respond to with love, connection, and guidance. Each milestone is not just a time of difficulty to get through but a great investment opportunity to teach a child a new skill. Using this approach, instead of fighting the misbehavior, you can playfully roll with it and use the understanding of your child's new development to your child's and your family's great advantage.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. As children grow, there may be times when their behavior seems out of place or troubling. When there is a recurrent pattern of one or more of these types of behavior, something may be wrong. As a parent, if you have noticed something "off" about the way your child has been acting, perhaps it's time to take a closer look at what might actually be going on--before it gets worse. What to Do About Your Troubled Child is designed to provide you with the information you need to get to the bottom of the mystery. If a behavioral disorder is caught early enough and treated correctly, it can be greatly lessened or even eliminated. Unfortunately, many behavioral problems in children go undiagnosed for so long that they progress beyond the possibility of improvement. This book is divided into two parts. Part One looks at six of the most common behavioral disorders: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, Anxiety Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorder. Each chapter focuses on one disorder and includes a list of questions intended to determine if your child exhibits enough of the tendencies associated with this disorder to warrant a closer look. It then describes the symptoms and risk factors of the problem, how it may be professionally diagnosed, and traditional means of treatment, which include therapy and medication. Part Two offers a detailed look at complementary approaches to treatment, such as lifestyle changes, nutrition, beneficial programs, and helpful devices. Telling yourself that your child is bound to grow out of a certain pattern of behavior may be causing you to ignore the signs of a serious issue--one that should be addressed. By the time your child reaches adolescence, the disorder may be too far gone. Now is the time for you to understand and do something about it. Now is the time to let What to Do About Your Troubled Childbe your guide.…
