    Managing Behaviors in Public

    This week we are going to talk about managing behaviors ( think problem behaviors) in public. We have all been there before with a child that is screaming, crying, falling to the ground, or engaging in more serious behaviors (i.e. aggressive behaviors or SIB) in public. It probably feels like everyone is staring at you, judging you, and maybe thinking “what an awful parent.” First off we want to make it very clear that we have all been there so no one is judging you or thinking twice about the situation.  If you thought we were done with your tool belt strategies, think again! These strategies are so important and you can use them in all situations, even in public!
