Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My kid blows up over the same things again and again, and I keep calling it defiance or attitude
• The same misbehavior keeps coming back no matter what I do about it, and I’m starting to suspect I’m only swatting at the surface
• My kid has started hiding mistakes and bracing like they’re in trouble before I’ve even said anything, and I think it’s because my first reaction to a spill or a broken thing is always the accusation
• I can find my way around places I know without a second thought, yet I can’t hold an ordered set of facts in my head
• I keep hearing that mistakes are good for learning and applying it to everything, but with this brand-new hands-on skill, fumbling it wrong each time just seems to be drilling in bad habits
