Unmet Needs

I do not know where to start!

My little one can be beey feisty aged 3 which I know is normal.

I keep reading about behaviour that is down to an unmet need!

How do I begin to find our what my childs unmet need is!?

Can someone point me to further reading or questions I should ask etc?

Feeling overwhelmed and want to get it right!!!!!

You're not alone, I really struggle with unmet needs as well.

How old are they now and what support are you receiving? Flowers

Thank you!

Aged 3 I have fairly good support at home from Husband but I do the lions share whilst working FT and good family support.

Nursery 3 days a week too.

Like I say, I'm pretty useless at unmet needs. Just wondering if you've read The Explosive Child?

Doing this simple Speech & Language checker might help too. Our DD has issues with her speech and language that are not always obvious.

Have Nursery said anything?

No issues at all with nursery- perfect behaviour!!!!
