Supporting children with challenging behavior starts with understanding the “why” behind the behavior—then responding with patience, consistency, and strategies that build connection and teach skills over time.

When children with a history of trauma show challenging behavior, it’s best practice to create a sense of safety and focus on building trust before addressing the behavior itself. ZERO TO THREE offers tauma-informed resources and guidance to help caregivers understand and respond to challenging behavior with empaty, supporting healing and healthy development in young children.
