“Sooner or later, every child experiences difficultly,” writes Lilli-ann Buffin, in an article that is the foundation of an Out of the Box Training Kit, Hard Joys: Managing Behavior with a Creative Mind and a Playful Spirit. “For some, it is a fleeting moment brought on by hunger or fatigue, or difficulty sharing a prized toy. For other children, the difficult behaviors spread out into longer ‘stages’ consistent with the issues of their development. A much smaller group of children will struggle intensely with deep and powerful internal pain related to extreme life events or health/mental health disorders.
At difficult times, children need our help. With a creative mind, playful spirit, and a few tools, we can reshape these trying behaviors.” The author offers six tools for supporting children when they need help the most. This is the first tool she suggests:
