Why do kids act out, shut down, or push our buttons at the worst times? What if every tantrum, eye-roll, or meltdown wasn’t bad behavior — but a message?
In this episode of The Long Game Parent, we dive into the powerful truth that all behavior is communication. Drawing from child development research, psychology, and real-life parenting moments, we’ll explore:
Why kids’ behavior is often a reflection of unmet needs or big feelings.
How to decode the signals behind tantrums, conflict, or “defiance.”
Simple strategies to respond with connection instead of control.
Why this principle also applies at work — from tricky colleagues to team dynamics.
When we shift from “how do I stop this?” to “what is this behavior telling me?” we not only build resilience and trust at home, but also sharpen our emotional intelligence in the workplace.
Because the long game of parenting — and leadership — isn’t about fixing behavior. It’s about listening to what it’s really saying.
