When children are small and don’t have a vocabulary, they have to find ways to communicate the anger or frustration they are feeling. They may bite or hit or throw themselves to the ground in a rage; the latter we call a temper tantrum. Temper tantrums usually come on suddenly and escalate quickly. So what […]

What to Do When Your Child Tells a Lie

One behavior that parents of young children most fear is lying; what parent hasn’t had the image of their child growing up to be a criminal, living a life full of deception in which they  can never be trusted, all because the child didn’t tell the truth in pre-school?  Some parents think their child is […]
