Is This Behavior Normal? What Parents Often Misread.

In this episode, Dr. Courtney and her husband, Scott, unpack common behaviors that kids may show at all developmental phases and determine what is "normal" and what's not. We talk about the ways that parents often misinterpret these behaviors, how to reframe your expectations and when to get support if needed. Topics discussed include:  * Is it normal when your little kids don't listen to you?  * Is it normal if your younger kids are lying to you?  * Is it normal that my kid is an excellent, well behaved student at school but an emotional wreck at home?  * Is it normal that my teen is lazy and unmotivated?  * Is it normal if my older teen is closed off or seems annoyed all the time?   Tools Mentioned: Visual Timer [https://amzn.to/4fehK85] White Board for Chores or Tasks [https://amzn.to/4vf6RaK] Questions for Dr. Courtney?
