Find me on the Zuck app “My child has a tantrum when…” “My child has a meltdown when…” “My child cries when…” “What should I do?!” Here’s the thing… Kids are in the middle of figuring out how the world works. Some of them haven’t even reached 500 days on this planet! It’s completely normal for them to feel upset—they’re still learning how to navigate their emotions and experiences. But here’s where many parents get stuck: reasoning, over-explaining, and using logic in the heat of the moment. When kids are overwhelmed emotionally, teaching them a lesson or justifying your decisions won’t land. That’s not the time for logic—it’s the time for calm, consistent action. The truth is, many effective strategies happen before challenging behavior occurs. If you’re relying on all your tools and strategies only after the meltdown starts, you’re more likely to prolong the situation—and might even unintentionally reinforce the challenging behavior. Now, about tools like timers and warnings… Timers and warnings are fantastic, but they lose their effectiveness if you don’t follow through. For example, if the timer goes off, your child protests, and THEN you give them extra time, the message becomes confusing. Teaching our kids to negotiate appropriately is a great skill, but if we are going to teach it and honor what they negotiated (appropriately), then we need to follow through with what both parties agreed upon. Otherwise we teach our kids that our words hold no value.

A few weeks ago, I shared a video about why parents respond to behavior the way they do (it's from November 29, 2024—if you missed it, go watch it, and you’ll see what I mean). But here’s the truth: offering your child something “good” after challenging behavior might temporarily stop it, but it won’t solve the issue in the long term. I know—it FEELS like it’s working because the behavior stops temporarily. But remember, anytime a behavior CONTINUES to occur means it’s being reinforced. Once you truly understand how behavior works, those “a-ha” moments make it much easier to stop reinforcing the wrong behaviors. ➡️ DM me READY to grab my Practical Parenting: No Fluff, Just Results course!

I totally get it! Some of the things our kids do can really push our buttons, maybe even make your blood boil. But hear me out! If those behaviors are of no harm to anyone, and are simply meant to annoy you, try your best to let them go. And I know what you are thinking, “How will my child know that’s not okay? Aren't I letting them get away with it?” Not at all! Behavior happens for a reason, and whether it continues depends on the consequences we provide. If your child is doing something to get your attention, and you respond by telling them to stop, you might actually be reinforcing the behavior. In other words, your reaction could be giving them exactly what they’re looking for. The key is to respond in a way that shows you’re unaffected. Even your facial expressions matter—if you look annoyed, that might be enough to encourage the behavior. Sometimes, walking away is your best move. 🛑IMPORTANT!🛑 I often hear, “I ignore my child’s behavior, but it’s not improving.” That’s likely because the reason behind the behavior hasn’t been identified. Understanding the function of behavior is the game-changer! Without that information, it’s hard to address the root cause effectively. ➡️ DM me TOOLKIT for a free mini crash course video on 4 crucial strategies every parent must know to make their life easier.

For the parents who want to spend time with their kids but their bodies hurt from sitting on the floor all day… This chair has been a lifesaver for me over the past 5 years! It’s lightweight, lays flat for easy storage under the bed or in tight spaces, and has adjustable back support (and when you lay it flat it’s a great prop for playing doctor 😂). And if we haven’t met yet—hi! I’m Jenna. I’m a behavior analyst, teacher, and mom. I started this account to help parents and educators with practical, evidence-based strategies that actually work, so you can enjoy more peaceful days without constant power struggles. So, if you’re looking for real-life, easy-to-follow tips (without the fluff), you’re in the right place! #parenting #parentsofinstagram #play #playtime #kidsofinstgram #toddlersofinstagram #toddlerlife #toddleractivities #aba #behavior #behavioranalysis #bcba #moms #momsofinstagram #playideas #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

Imagine you’re teaching your child to swim. Think of all the steps involved: getting comfortable in the water, submerging their chin, then their nose, eventually their whole face. Learning to float, blow bubbles, kick, and hold onto the wall and much more—all these skills build toward swimming. Now, imagine you only praise them when they’re swimming perfectly. How discouraged would they feel if every small effort along the way went unnoticed? Would they even make progress? This is why shaping and reinforcement are so important- not just for swimming, but for any new skill (especially language). Here are some other examples of how shaping might be used: cleaning, brushing teeth, tying shoes, writing, making their bed, playing an instrument, drawing a picture, getting dressed—the list goes on! ➡️ My Time to Talk mini-course, which focuses on communication starting from infancy, is included for free in the Practical Parenting course. And as Andrea, a parent who recently took my course, said: “The most significant change I’ve seen is being able to use what I learned with my two-year-old and noticing a real increase in her communication skills.“ So remember, celebrate small steps. PS: This works best when teaching your child to ask for what they want!

Here’s the big one! Paying attention to your child BEFORE they have a meltdown is crucial! It’s so easy to overlook the appropriate behaviors our children engage in, and I get it! Us parents have stuff to do! Who has time for this!? But let me tell you, the amount of time you think you are losing by attending to your child during errands or a family outing; you may end up losing having to coax them to leave the toy aisle, sit in the cart, stop taking things off the shelf, leave the restaurant, or stay in their seat— you get the idea! By utilizing this strategy, we mitigate the chances of problem behavior happening, teach our children that engaging in the right behavior gets our attention and that running errands or eating out doesn’t become something we dread! Comment TOOLKIT for a free mini crash course video on 4 crucial strategies every parent must know to make their life easier (This also covers the other topics in the video). #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #newmom #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentingishard #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #teachersofinstagram #parenthood #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

“What if they cry or exhibit challenging behavior?” That’s okay and can be expected—especially if your child has a long learning history of using challenging behavior to remain in an activity longer. When you begin following through immediately with your instructions (if you haven’t been doing so before), you’re no longer reinforcing behavior that was previously reinforced (this is called extinction). As a result, your child may try different challenging behaviors because the old ones aren’t getting the same result they used to. It’s important to note: This is not the time to give in, as your child might then adopt this new behavior as their go-to the next time they don’t want to transition. And remember, extinction can take time– it may be a long and slow process, but when done correctly, it works. Over time, your child will learn, “When my mom asks me to do something, I need to do it when she asks, or she will just prompt me anyway.” Finally, proactive strategies will always be your best option! Sometimes we may not have the right reinforcer, and that’s okay– all we can do is adjust for next time. DM me READY if you are prepared for peaceful, easy going days without the tantrums and power struggles, and I’ll show you how. #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #parenthood #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

I know what it’s like to feel like you can’t get anything done because you have to stay in the same room as your kids, or a fight might break out out. You try to put away the dishes, and suddenly you hear shrieking. Or you run upstairs to switch the laundry, and you hear, “Mom! Joey hit me!” No one should have to live like that—constantly on edge, ready to put out the next fire. Here’s the thing… While I was wishing my kids’ behavior would change, I realized that if I wanted things to get better, my behavior had to change first. So, I completely shifted the way I handled their arguments—and it made a BIG difference. Our home is calmer, and my quality of life has improved more than I could have imagined. That’s why I’m so excited to announce the brand-new, updated Sibling Rivalry module in my Practical Parenting: No Fluff, Just Results course. In one hour, I’ll walk you through the 5 strategies I shared in the video—and so much more—so you can start enjoying calmer, more peaceful days too. DM me “READY” and I’ll show you how. #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #siblingrivalry #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #parentingjourney #toddlersoftiktok #parentsbelike #parenthood

1. Clear expectations (creates structure and predictability) 2. Positive reinforcement (acknowledge and reinforce desired behaviors to motivate students and maintain engagement) 3. Interactive songs and activities 4. Movement breaks And so many more! Curious about the song I was singing? It’s called “What’s in the Box?” (or “What’s in the Jar?”)—a fun game we play every morning. I have a few videos of it. Comment “SONG,” and I’ll send them your way.
