FEATURED COURSE: HERD
Understanding Behavior
Slow down and notice. Look for patterns, not perfection.
Ever wonder why challenging behavior keeps happening over and over again?
HERD introduces the basic principles behind behavior and helps you look beyond what you see on the surface. Learn to recognize patterns, consider what may be influencing behavior, and identify practical ways to create conditions for success.
Through short, approachable lessons, you'll explore four core ideas:
Help: Understand what behavior may be communicating and what support or skills might be needed.
Engage: Build cooperation and connection by considering what matters to your child and how you can make participation more meaningful.
Regulate: Recognize the role of regulation and create conditions that support learning and coping.
Design: Adjust routines, environments, and expectations to make success more achievable.
HERD is designed to help you approach everyday challenges with greater understanding, confidence, and intention.
