In Part 1 of this two part message, you will be challenged to think differently about a child’s behavior. You must get to the root cause of the matter. Is it the sin nature, are there metabolic issues caused by the inner chemistry of the body or are there neurodevelopmental factors that contribute to poor behavior. Part 1 will explore metabolic and neurodevelopmental root causes which are beyond the child’s control. You will also be equipped with a way to change your interactions with your child from negative to positive. These are some of the first steps to creating a more positive learning and home environment. Examples of how to make handwriting, math and reading a more positive part of your school day are included as well.
