Beneath the Behaviour - A Parent Guide

Beneath the Behaviour
A parent's guide to big feelings — and what's really underneath them.
 
Most parenting advice tells you to "validate feelings" or "hold boundaries" — rarely both, and rarely how. This is the guide for the questions you actually have: Do I validate the feeling if the behaviour isn't okay? Why could they do it yesterday and not today? What if talking makes it worse?
 
Written by Nicole Dorrington, a Registered Psychologist with 18 years' experience, Beneath the Behaviour gives you the "why" behind the meltdowns, the shutdowns, and the days that go sideways — and exactly what to do about it, including a one-page card designed to keep on the fridge for the moments you don't have time to read anything at all.
 
What's inside:
Three core shifts in how you read your child's behaviour
A simple, repeatable path for the hardest moments
Exact phrases to borrow for anger, anxiety, shutdown and teens
How to repair it when you lose your patience
A guide to your own triggers, not just your child's
A one-page quick-reference card
