Put simply, children are challenging. For every first step or first word, there's a hit or a bite. For every belly laugh, there's a temper tantrum. It's hard enough for parents to deal with the challenging behavior issues that come with a child's natural development. Add in time spent in childcare, and these same issues can seemingly reach crisis mode. In the first series of its kind for parents of children in childcare, "Behavior Matters" looks at the ways parents can work with their daycare provider to address the most common and perplexing behavior challenges in consistent and appropriate ways-from separation anxiety and toilet training to sharing and power struggles.
