Young Child Misbehavior
Specialized Therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona
Outbursts, meltdowns, and tantrums have you feeling at a loss.

Frequent temper tantrums
Defiance - refusing to follow directions
Verbal and/or physical aggression
Destruction of toys and/or family belongings
Backtalk or sassing adults
Whining or crying for no apparent reason
