Handling Your Child's Challenging Behavior at Any Age

The Yolo County Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) and Yolo County Children’s Alliance (YCCA) are excited to share our new parenting guide: Handling Your Child’s Challenging Behaviors at Every Age. This resource for parents and caregivers provides positive discipline tips and resources to handle challenging behaviors in babies, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and teenagers.

Handling Your Child’s Challenging Behaviors at Every Age is available in English, Spanish, and Russian for download and printing at https://www.yolokids.org/handling-your-childs-challenging-behaviors-every-age. While we are waiting to pass out hard copies of the guide until the COVID-19 situation improves, please email this link to parents and encourage them to read it.

We know this is a very stressful and difficult time for parents and families. Parents might also be interested in previous CAPC/YCCA guides, which cover issues like self-care, stress, how to handle strong emotions, and ways to connect with children.
