الحصول على مساعدة في سلوكيات الطفل
Caring for kids is one of the most important, and sometimes most challenging jobs there is. Raising children takes patience, energy, and support.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed. When children push boundaries, act out or struggle to express their big feelings, you may be unsure of where to turn for help and support. You don't have to figure it out on your own.
Help is available, and it starts with knowing where to turn.
Get Help From Your Pediatrician
When challenging behaviors occur frequently or persist beyond a phase, connect with support as early as possible. It’s risky to assume that your child will “grow out of it.”
يمكن حل معظم المشكلات باستخدام النهج الصحيح، ولكن عادة ما يكون من الأسهل والأكثر فعالية القيام بشيء ما في وقت أقرب قبل أن تتفاقم المشكلة.
First, talk to your child’s pediatrician or healthcare provider. Bring questions, concerns, and examples to your appointment. Use this tip sheet (English/Spanish) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prepare for and guide the conversation.

Supporting A Child's Social And Emotional Growth
Grown-ups are the single most important factor for a child's healthy development. Children are not born with the social and emotional skills needed in life. So, it's understandable that for some children, managing all of this can feel overwhelming, leading to behavior challenges.
To understand how a child's brain develops, think of an air traffic control tower at a busy airport. There's a lot happening at once - planes are landing, going to and from gates and taking off.
Someone has to manage all that traffic! Similarly, a child must learn how to manage the various things happening around them in their environment, both socially and emotionally.
Learning how to manage all these stimuli allows them to focus their attention, filter distractions, and mentally switch gears when needed.
Through play, you can help your child practice these skills as an air traffic controller!
In this engaging video, a Harvard Professor, emphasizes the importance of play in a child's brain development.
Make Learning Fun
Long before a child can talk, play serves a valuable role in teaching emotional, social and communication skills to a child. Play is the way your child learns in the early years.
Support your child’s emotional and social growth during unstructured play:
- Talk about emotions, feelings, and resolving conflict.
- Help your child practice self-regulation and emotional control.
- Have them name their feelings when they arise.
- Normalize disagreements and show them how to cope with and manage these situations.
Vroom is a free tool that can help make learning fun every day! Vroom brings learning to mealtime, playtime, bathtime, bedtime, and anytime of the day!
With Vroom, you don't need special toys or gadgets. You simply need a grown-up and a child ages 0-5.
Vroom is available online, through an app and text message. View sample tips from our partners at Maryland Essentials for Childhood and get started with Vroom.
Teen and tween emotional support
Even if a child copes well in the early years, they may need additional support during the teen years. Children's brains are still developing in adolescence and resources are available for this time in a child's life, too.
ال مركز تنمية الطفل at Harvard University offers an activity guide, organized by age, to help parents teach these essential life skills, sometimes called “executive function” and “self-regulation” (EF/SR).
The age-appropriate games and activities show you how to prepare your child for life and foster resilience. This helps them cope with the unknown and learn from mistakes. Help the teen in your life with these life skills.
