A common question among parents and caregivers of young children is some version of How do I get my child to stop [insert challenging behavior]?
Elizabeth Santiago, director of the United Way of Pinal County's family, friend and neighbor program, advises to shift your thinking from 'How do I do this?' to 'Why are they doing it?' Understanding your child's point of view and the emotions behind their behavior can help. It's all part of positive parenting.
