Parenting primary aged children can be both rewarding and challenging.

During this critical developmental stage, children are growing, learning, and experiencing changes and dealing with different challenges all the time.

You might notice some behaviours in your child that you do not understand and may find very challenging.

However, it is important to remember that everyone communicates through behaviour and parents-carers can help a child by figuring out the meaning behind the child’s behaviour.

By taking time to understand what children are communicating through their behaviour, adults can respond more sensitively to the child’s actual need.

All children, especially those who display challenging behaviour, need the consistency of a reliable and caring adult who will provide love, support, and guidance, especially during difficult times.
