Understanding children, especially your own, can be quite challenging. It’s difficult to figure out what is going on in their minds, and especially the reason for their behavior. Children might not communicate any of these things easily, if at all. 

However there are helpful ways to observe their behavior and get to the root of it. The key is to find patterns in their behavior; more specifically the circumstances leading up to the behavior, the behavior itself, and what happened after. The most important part is to write all of this down when it happens, and over time you’ll be able to find a pattern within their behavior that can prove to be helpful in figuring out why this behavior occurred.
