Whether or not you're a parent, you've surely witnessed it - a child in absolute meltdown mode, complete with piercing screams, tears, and flailing limbs. Or the teenager full of angry words or sullen scowls who is slamming doors in frustration. We see these as "bad" behaviors, but in reality, they are usually calls for help. World-renowned parenting expert Kim John Payne, M.Ed., acclaimed author of the bestselling book Simplicity Parenting, explains it this way: there's no such thing as a disobedient child - only a disoriented one. Misbehavior or acting out is actually a child's signal that they're feeling lost and looking to their parent to guide them back on course. Payne provides parents with clear, viable strategies that empower them to set limits effectively, correct behavior, and help develop their child's own decision-making skills. He helps provide the building blocks needed for parents to spend less time focusing on outdated, ineffective discipline tactics and more time connecting with and enjoying their children.
