If you’ve ever looked at your child—especially a teenager—and wondered if you’re trying to communicate with someone from another planet, you’re not alone. Parenting can feel like decoding a mystery, especially when it comes to understanding why kids act the way they do. In this enlightening discussion with parenting expert Meri Wallace, we delve into the underlying motivations that influence children's actions. Meri explains that children's seemingly irrational behavior is frequently rooted in developmental challenges rather than a reflection of their character. She is the author of The Secret World of Children: Why Children Behave the Way They Do. With over three decades of experience, she offers invaluable insights, identifying nine pivotal developmental issues that contribute to a child's acting out. Meri has been interviewed on CNN, MSNBC, and the Hallmark Channel and has a blot in Psychology Today.https://www.amazon.com/Secret-World-Children-Understand-Behave/dp/B0CN31F5P6/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2CPATR5O0D3AH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yxo7wo4mQpq-e61LPn66SHsrQTBZ1IUsdwcMjYHCuggBN6mqPYcQfQ98ex3zo8ymRggsniJzrPtvePfPSN2aL6kf69e4nQ6q0fQGTQvf5vcroOkGOdKYFMvwN0N0nk-K96-SiFH7b8sMHNIJCQXm-LU3tm04JkOYuOPXHwS9cpW-kuPXiZf9k8D126EClALuOWY4bMCvA2UDp9xZ0SC15GBxhLE_CeSOCWdB1Twh_Jo.N6_mFiyVYQ8c_uqtXFECp8XOj7d1zYvyBd6vcujtFIs&dib_tag=se&keywords=The+Secret+World+of+Children%3A&qid=1751845286&sprefix=the+secret+world+of+children+%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-2www.meriwallace.comhttps://womenroadwarriors.com/ https://womenspowernetwork.net#Parenting #ParentingTips #Children #Kids #MeriWallace #ShelleyJohnson #ShelleyMJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors
