As we approach the end of the school year, many educators and families notice a familiar pattern: strategies that once worked don’t seem as effective. 🤔 This is not about loss of skill or effort-it’s about shifts in capacity, regulation, and predictability across the system. Both kids and adults are operating with lower bandwidth, and that changes how behavior shows up and how we respond. In these moments, the most powerful thing we can offer is not perfect consistency, but grace, presence, and connection. 🤝

Some of us became patient adults out of pure personal experience. 💁🏼‍♀️

Toddlers aren’t trying to be difficult… it just feels that way sometimes. The big feelings. The sudden meltdowns. The constant “no.” It can start to feel like everything turns into a power struggle. But what if it didn’t have to? Join us for Toddlers Without the Power Struggles: What’s Actually Happening (and What Works)—a real, expert-led conversation on what’s going on beneath the surface and how to respond in ways that actually help. Featuring: ✨ Devon Kuntzman (@transformingtoddlerhood ) ✨ Rachel Morris, BCBA (@behavior.ish ) ✨ @stacymccannlcsw (Present Moment Counselling & Coaching Services) We’ll break down what toddler behavior really means—and give you practical tools to navigate this stage with more confidence and a lot less friction. 🗓 Thursday, May 14th ⏰ 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM EDT 💻 Virtual Because it’s not about controlling the behavior—it’s about understanding it. Comment RSVP and we’ll send you the link 💬

There’s no such thing as a “bad” goodbye, but we all know the ones that don’t go the way we had hoped. Sometimes pushing us away feels safer than feeling the full weight of the separation. Especially for kids with big feelings or fears of rejection. Behavior during goodbyes is often much more about vulnerability than defiance.

End-of-the-year behavior challenges often aren’t about “kids losing it,” they’re about systems, routines, and capacity shifting all at once. This is when we tend to feel the urge to tighten or loosen boundaries in reaction to behavior. But what actually helps is staying anchored in expectations while becoming more responsive in how we get there. Boundaries don’t disappear in May-they become more intentional, not more rigid. Especially when dysregulation increases, the goal isn’t stricter enforcement. It’s better regulation + clearer return to expectations. ☀️

End of the year behavior isn’t random. ☀️ It’s what happens when fatigue, transitions, and uncertainty collide. 💥 When we understand and support what’s underneath it all, we can respond in ways that give grace to you and your kiddos.

Neurodivergent language has become much more common in everyday conversation. That can be a good thing! It means more awareness and openness about neurodivergence. But when we use these terms for every experience of focus, energy, or sensory preference, the meaning can start to get blurred. Not every behavior is a neurodivergent trait and it every experience fits into that category. And this isn’t about labeling people or correcting anyone, it’s about keeping language clear so we can best understand and support those who need it. #behaviorish #behaviorsupport #neurodivergence

The “they know better” mindset feels logical…but it misses what’s actually happening. For many neurodivergent kids, the gap isn’t knowledge; it’s capacity in the moment. And when we don’t account for that, we end up in more power struggles, not fewer. Connection first. Always. 🔑
