About this episode

Mandy Grass discusses the real reasons behind children's behavior and offers practical parenting strategies.

Today on the podcast, we're joined by Mandy Grass Behavior Analyst (BCBA), parent coach, and mom of three — for a deep, practical conversation about the real reasons behind our kids' behavior. Mandy has worked with hundreds of families and school districts to teach evidence-based strategies that help children thrive at home and in the classroom. She's also built a community of nearly 700,000 people on social media, where she shares real-life, practical tools (and a healthy dose of humor) to make parenting feel a little lighter and a lot more doable. We talk about why kids act out, how to teach replacement behaviors, what to do when homework becomes a battle, and why consistency matters more than perfection. Mandy also shares powerful insights on ADHD, distractibility & what looks like "defiance". If you've ever wondered how to stay calm, set boundaries, and still stay connected, this conversation is for you. https://www.thefamilybehaviorist.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thefamilybehaviorist/ Watch on our Youtube channel!
