Summary
Child Who Argues, Melts Down Over Losing, Bosses Siblings?
Do you have a child who is bossy, melts down over changes in plans or when little things go wrong? Acts like a sore loser when playing games? Collects little stones and acorns in their pant pockets? Wears the same clothes and eats the same foods? Likes to say, “That’s not fair!” and won’t stop following you until they prove their point? Has difficulty with executive function and following directions? Struggle with anxiety over new experiences? Good. Kirk explains why all of these behaviors have the same root…and similar solutions.

| 1:28.4 | eats the same foods. It's oftentimes simple carbs, mac and cheese and chicken nuggets because of |
| 1:33.5 | anxiety. Some of you have kids who say, that's not fair and they won't stop following you around |
| 1:40.3 | until they prove their point. Some of you married someone like that. What about kids who |
| 1:45.4 | have difficulty with executive functioning skills and following directions? And I know a lot of you |
