Dana is surprised and confused by her child’s behavior and doesn’t know how to help them. Her child has been lying, fighting with their sibling, and demonstrating socially unacceptable behavior. She tried talking to her child, rationally explaining how their behavior is “not ok”. She tried reasoning with her child and explaining the consequences of their behavior, to no avail. She tried punishments, she tried bribes, she’s tried it all. Nothing seems to work and Dana feels helpless. She also feels embarrassed.

At every incident Dana wonders why her child is behaving that way and she can’t seem to understand. She doesn’t know how to help her child and how to “stop their behaviour”.  Dana is feeling embarrassed and discouraged by her child’s behaviour and doesn’t know what to do.
