Chapters

This chapter discusses common behavioral challenges in children, such as bossiness, meltdowns over minor issues, and acting like a sore loser. It introduces the idea that these behaviors often stem from a child's feeling of lacking control and their attempts to regain it by controlling their environment, situations, or other people.
  • Bossiness, meltdowns, and sore loser behavior often stem from a child's need for control.
  • Children with busy brains and sensory processing issues may struggle with feeling out of control.
  • A fast-paced lifestyle and constant direction from adults can exacerbate a child's feeling of lack of control.

Child Who Argues, Melts Down Over Losing, Bosses Siblings?

Do you have a child who is bossy, melts down over changes in plans or when little things go wrong? Acts like a sore loser when playing games? Collects little stones and acorns in their pant pockets? Wears the same clothes and eats the same foods? Likes to say, “That’s not fair!” and won’t stop following you until they prove their point? Has difficulty with executive function and following directions? Struggle with anxiety over new experiences? Good. Kirk explains why all of these behaviors have the same root…and similar solutions.
