You might consider reaching out to a behavior strategist if you notice your child struggling in these common, yet challenging, areas:

​

1. Big Reactions to Small Problems: When your child has frequent, intense meltdowns or tantrums that seem bigger than the situation warrants (like over a simple change in plans), a strategist can help you understand the root of their frustration and teach them calmer ways to handle big feelings.

2. Difficulty Connecting with Peers: If your child finds it hard to make friends, doesn't quite know how to join in play, or often has conflicts with other children because they use their hands instead of their words, a strategist can coach them on the unwritten rules of friendship and social play.

3. Struggling with Changes and Transitions: Does moving from one activity to another—like leaving the playground or turning off the TV—often lead to a power struggle or tears? A consultant can provide practical tools to make daily transitions smoother and help your child become more flexible.

4. Avoiding Everyday Tasks: If your child consistently refuses or finds ways to get out of things like homework, getting dressed, or cleaning up, a strategist can help you figure out why they are resisting and turn those daily battles into opportunities for cooperation and confidence-building.

5. Worrisome Behaviors that Cause Harm: When a child shows behaviors that are unsafe—like hitting, biting, or running away—it’s a clear sign they need support. A behavior strategist can help you understand what your child is trying to communicate and give them safer, more effective ways to express their needs.
