One of the biggest challenges parents face is managing difficult or defiant behavior on the part of children. Whether they’re refusing to put on their shoes, or throwing full-blown tantrums, parents can find themselves at a loss for an effective way to respond.

This parent guide from Child Mind explains the ABCs of behavior management and what it can bring to improving behavior at home.
