All children can be difficult at least at one stage in their childhood. Growing up can be difficult, with so many issues flying about, so who can blame them? I’m here to give some various strategies on how to engage with children who can be a little more tempermental than usual…

1. Allow them to express themselves.

This can be done in various forms from them drawing how they are feeling on paper to acting/role playing. It responds to their creative side and theres no pressure on them to be right or wrong. Also, it will give you good insight to how they are feeling when they may not talk about it.
