When your child struggles, it’s easy to misinterpret their behavior, but shifting your perspective can make all the difference. Instead of seeing their actions as deliberate or attention-seeking, recognize them as signs of lagging skills and unsolved problems. By identifying specific challenges—like difficulty transitioning between activities or completing homework—you can reframe these issues constructively. Avoid assumptions or broad statements, and focus on clear, actionable phrasing to describe the problem. Remember, children do well if they can, and their behavior often reflects a lack of skills such as problem-solving or frustration tolerance, not a lack of motivation. Tools like the ALSUP can help pinpoint these areas, paving the way for collaborative problem-solving. In the next section, you’ll learn how to work with your child to address these challenges, starting with understanding their perspective and building solutions together.
