Behavior Development
Understanding Behavior & Childhood Development
Understanding how children think, feel, and behave is essential for nurturing their growth and emotional intelligence. At Parenting by Dr. Julia, we guide parents in decoding behavior through the lens of child development and psychology, empowering them to respond with clarity, patience, and compassion.
Why Understanding Child Behavior Matters
Child behavior is a form of communication. Misbehavior often signals unmet emotional or developmental needs. When parents understand these underlying causes, they can guide their children more effectively—without yelling, threats, or punishment.
