PROACTIVE TODDLER PROGRAM

Parenting trendsetters like you don't wait around for your child's behavior to get "bad enough" before arming yourself with evidence-based resources! We have spent the past 5 years educating you on typical brain, behavioral, social, and emotional development. We are confident that you are ready to receive behavioral consultation BEFORE your child ever has the chance to develop unwanted patterns of learned behavior. We've received feedback from our most loyal followers that partnering with parents and their children as early as 18 months old would be a valuable service. We've listened and designed a program JUST FOR TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS!

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS: A Behave Your Best Consultant will visit your home weekly for an hour and teach you to "Pretend You Are A Light Switch!" and other evidence-based proactive parenting strategies. We will teach you to teach your child aged 18-30 months skills such as: following instructions the first time they are given, tolerating delays or denials, remaining engaged for an age-appropriate amount of time, toileting readiness skills, and sleep skills.

The introductory fee exclusively offered to you as our newsletter subscriber, is $40 per hour, with 5 hours per month (4, 1-hour visits, and 15 minutes per visit to write a consultation summary). This is a 12-week commitment and you will need to be available for one of these time slots weekly from January 3, 2017-March 24, 2017.

Our exclusive introductory fee to newsletter subscribers is available to our BYB Community Members and newsletter subscribers only until Black Friday, at which point the price increases to $50 per visit through Small Business Saturday. The rate increases again to $75 per hour beginning 11/27/16.

We only have 12 total spots available for this service during the following times:

Tuesday through Thursday 9-10 am or 10:30-11:30 am

Wednesday 9-10 am or 10:30-11:30 am

Tuesdays or Wednesdays 1-2 pm or 2:30-3:30 pm

To reserve your spot, please reply to this email stating your location, the age of your child, and the time slot you are requesting. Emails will be answered in the order in which they are received. Behave Your Best reserves the right to select clients for this service based on geographic location, age of child, your availability, and our consultant availability.

Tip of the Month!

One reason that we are different from other organizations that support famlies with young children is that we focus on teaching new skills to prevent, replace, or compete with the typical unwanted behaviors in early childhood.

Rather than shine a spotlight on the unwanted behaviors with the standard reactive, punishment-based discipline that most of us were raised with, we are on a mission to teach parents evidence-based strategies before a pattern of behavior becomes unbearable and disrupts the family's functioning. Times are different and we are parenting trendsetters! I hope you enjoy this month's tip!

In service,

Find gratitude in your child's behavior!

While the election may not have this year, the month of November often brings out the best in others, with Thanksgiving sparking the gratitude bug in November that may have been dormant prior to November.

We have been spending the month of November encouraging you to find the best in your child's behavior. It's human nature to remember and focus on the challenging or stressful times, even though the positive experiences often outweigh the negative.

When we meet parents struggling to manage their child's behavior, we often see a pattern where the parent reacts to the child's unwanted behaviors and then the child receives minimal interaction when engaged in appropriate behavior. We teach parents like you to "catch your child being good." The more you are focusing on the positive, the less likely you are to be reacting to unwanted behaviors.

Have a great month!

My best,

Jamie
