Zero to Three: Challenging Behaviors

As young children are just beginning to develop self-control, challenging behavior is common and expected in the years from birth to three. Teaching your children how to control and calmly express their emotions from a young age will benefit their behavior in the long run. If you are a parent feeling overwhelmed by your child’s behavior, help is available. To find services that best fit the needs of your family, contact Childlink at 240-777-4769. For online resources for your child, aged  zero to three year old, visit https://www.zerotothree.org/.
