How have you encouraged or supported your child to reach their goals or engage in behaviors that are appropriate to the situation they are in?

My child likes arts and crafts. I keep the materials nearby so they can play/work on them when they want.

How have you managed your child’s behaviors when they were causing troubles for themselves or bothering other people?

When my child was small, they used to have tantrums at the store. My husband and I worked together, and one of us would distract them and bring them to a park etc.

What types of support or information would you like to have in supporting your child’s behavior?

When they were at a park or toy store, they have fun. But, when they needed to leave, it was always hard. It would have been helpful to have ideas about how to manage transitions.
