From toddlers hitting to teens slamming doors, parents struggle to handle the rollercoaster ride as our little ones inevitably grow up. But each behavior is just the tip of the iceberg. The S.C.U.B.A. Approach helps you look beneath the surface, to See the Child Under the Behavior, and Adapt. By helping you know what to look at and why, understanding your child's behavior and individuality as well as the specifics of both the behavior and the situation, this book will help you come up with a plan. Changing the environment, shifting expectations, and reinforcing boundaries are all tools you'll know when and how to apply.

You'll also gain the freedom to experiment, because as our kids grow and change what works once may not again. When you use the tools you'll gain from this book, you'll know not just what to do by how and why to do it. And while you do that you'll find yourself building empathy and compassion for them...and for yourself.
