Why is this happening?

When your child suddenly starts acting out at school it can really throw you for a loop. The goal is to figure out what's going on and get them back on track as quickly as possible but the process is so slow. Additionally it really takes a toll on us, a parents. We question everything we're doing. This week we unpack not only ideas on how to help our kiddos but also how to help each other as parents in the thick of things, raising children with behavior and mental health challenges.

Melissa shared a resource from our friends at DBSA to help your child understand and express their feelings. Check out the mood crew here:  https://www.dbsalliance.org/mood-crew/
