Teachers are trained to watch, look and listen. Most parents have the innate ability to detect when their child is sick or tired but sometimes they don't know where to begin to understand why their child is exhibiting a certain behavior, be it positive or negative. So, I have collected a few links for you to look to for some ideas on how to understand your child's behavior.

Most importantly, remember your children are still learning, exploring and constantly watching you and observing the world around them. Their brains are still developing and sometimes, as parents, we sometimes forget this.
