Hear from Chrissy and Dan, mom and dad to 2 amazing kids 5 and 4 years old. They went from this: "The biggest challenge was getting the kids to cooperate and follow directions the first time. It was exhausting and frustrating to feel like we had to give directions over and over again in order to do simple things like get dressed in the morning, get out the door on time, and get ready for bed. And it often involved a lot of crying, whining, nagging, screaming, tantruming… it sucked."

"It was the best of times; it was the worst of times" - it was as if Charles Dickens was writing The tale of Two sibling relationship during COVID-19. In our house, the way the 6 and 8 year old sisters are treating each other, often goes the entire mood of the house. This love/hate relationship between close siblings is something that has always been a narrative in our house; but with their increased amount of time together and lack of friends to run interferences, these tiffs have been more frequent than not.

Here are the top Three Ways Routine Exercise Helps Children's Brains Get Ready to Learn More attention and memory - Exercise increases the blood flow to the brain which increases alertness, focus and concentration. With blood flow comes both oxygen and glucose which give the brain the fuel it needs to make the most out of learning! Decrease impulsivity - Routine exercise has been proven to improve cognitive functioning which allows our children to plan better and refrain from impulsive behavior. Decreased Stress and Improved mood - Moderate to rigorous exercise has been proven to release the feel good chemicals in the brain (endorphins, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin). These chemicals reduce the feelings most commonly associated with stress and increase mood for up to 90 minutes post exercise. Let us take care of this for you!

A young preschool boy was struck by a car while backing out of his driveway the day prior and had passed away. He was 5-years-old. The news shook me to my core. As I watched my little guy running back and forth in the hallway in front of me, tears filled my eyes imagining the pain his mother is currently going through. A life taken too soon as a result of a tragic accident that maybe could have been prevented. Today I have some concrete tips for you to move forward for safety of you, your kiddos, and those around. I want to dedicate this episode of Behavior Buff to the our girls schoolmate and his grieving family by bringing to mind to topic of driveway safety as there are some crucial behaviors you and your children can put in place to prevent a tragedy like this from striking your home.

The world needs more of YOU! I mean it.

What does that even mean Ty?! HANGRY. Hungry + Angry. One of the first things that I learned in graduate school was the importance of eliminating any biological variables before addressing challenging behaviors. If the body is not getting the fuel and recovery it needs, behaviors are naturally going to be effected. Another base principle of applied behavior analysis is the practice of parsimony. Parsimony is the practice of ruling out simple explanations before diving deeper into the complex and complicated. I use these two base principles every time I work with a school or family on helping change the behavior of their kiddos. Before I even start any EXTERNAL behavioral assessment or make any behavioral recommendations. I always do my best to check off any biological variables that maybe causing issues internally. Some of those issues could be hunger, thirst, illnesses, constipation, allergies, sleep, and lack of physical activity. Out of all of those, three need to occur every day and CAN be under our control if we pay enough attention to how much our children are getting. Those three are, water intake - 1 oz per year of age up to 8, proper food intake - try and manage the blood sugar spikes and crashes by eating a balanced diet, and the amount of sleep - 9-11 hours for our school agers.

Recently; I read about a group of parents, going to a school and demanding that the school needs more discipline! It sparked this podcast- Why More Discipline is NOT the Answer. "My kids are out of control, they are SO naughty and disrespectful. We've tried timeouts, taking toys away, losing activities and privileges that they love to do, yelling at them, we've seriously tried everything!" Or maybe you have seen kids acting out at a restaurant and you think WOW those kids need more discipline. Or you hear someone say that about your own kids. Today we talk about why they don't. yep! Complete 180 huh? If they episode sparked something in you- we'd love to hear about it. Always free to chat.

Time Out's revisited! To Note this Episode: -Time outs usually don’t work because they the time IN isn't preferred. -The second reason is because it takes a certain level of cooperation. -Time outs are used as a tool when the kid needs to be removed from the current environment in order to start calming down. -Time outs should be used to only make sure they are being safe to themselves, or people around them. -Time outs should NOT be used to rely on the manage behavior, it should be a last resort, not a first. -This goes for any type of punishment really. Discipline/punishment is to be used when you have tried over and over and over again until you are so sick of positive praise and its just not working or its not enough. We hit on the 90/10 Rule, and go over our behavior bank account analogy again.

The Episode Ty has been drumming up for weeks is here, He created Therapeutic Fitness for: "The kids that I would find benefitting the most from the workouts where the kids whose motors seemed to run the hottest. Those kids most commonly labeled as ADHD or hyper. The kids who were constantly getting in trouble for not sitting still, tipping on their chair, and fidgeting with the stuff on the shelf next to them. The kids who everyone describes as having a short fuse or going from 0-100 with NO warning. The kids who were too rough at recess and claim to not know their own strength. Those are the kids I wanted to build this program out for." Is he speaking to you? Did you listen in and you're thinking sign my kid up!

Daniel Patterson is talking all things teens. But the cool part about this episode is we had a ton of takeaways to start and implement ourselves, and we don't have any teenagers yet. His advice and knowledge in the parenting world is insane, and he really brought to light some impactful things for us as well to work on. When I asked him how might you change your child's behavior around social media, video games, and screens; his answer- "Be the Example." I can't take away screens, and sit there on my phone on the couch myself. This really resonated with me. I hope you find this episode as awesome as I did interviewing him! A little more about him: Taught middle school and high school for 10 years. High School assistant principal for 4 years Launched his educational-centered coaching firm 4 years ago - works with clients all over the country helping families solve complex educational or related roadblocks.

Raise your hand if you've had your share of bedtime struggles? From a baby not sleeping. To a preschooler getting up to go potty, ask to sleep in your bed, or maybe they just creep and make their way into your bed without you even knowing. Maybe you feel like you have to lay next to them, rub their back, read 50 stories, sing songs, bribe to get them to brush their teeth, and 2.5 hours later- you're a puddle on the couch because they FINALLY went to bed, only to hear little feet run into your room and scare the living crap out of you when they wake you up with their face 2 inches from you saying they can't sleep and ask if they can be in your bed with you. Then nobody gets good sleep. Unless you co-sleep, and that’s your thing, and you feel you get amazing sleep with your children in your bed. Power on to you. This is not us. And This likely isn't 90% of you. So this podcast is for you and all your sleep troubles with kids. you can find us at behaviorchangecollective.com

Today we're talking about Extinction, and NOT dinosaurs. Sorry Cal. ;) If you've ever felt like you are the solo parent who is always the one getting behavior from your kiddos and your partner isn't... Or maybe they're the "fun" one. This could provide some great insight for you. In the field of applied behavior analysis, extinction refers to the scenario when a behavior no longer provides the same reinforcer or preferred thing that it used to in the past.

But I was spanked growing up and I turned out just fine!  Why  what coercive control and corporal punishment aren't good longer term ways to shape behavior.  Most obvious examples are pushing, hitting, whipping, shaking, grabbing, spanking. Verbal: insulting, excessive yelling, name calling, put downs, rhetorical questions. This episode is in noway meant to make you feel bad if these are the behavioral tactics you are currently using.  We want you to know, if you are listening, then that means you are ready to make a change!  It will stop whatever  behavior is happening as you child becomes frightened and startled Using spanking as a form of punishment makes your child FEAR you, not RESPECT you.  Is this what you want? You want your child to fear you? I certainly don’t. BUT This is the EXACT reason why its enticing to use and why it is such a popular method of behavior management. However, as child become more and more exposed to that type of punishment, it becomes less and less effective due to the behavioral phenomena of habituation So when your light spank on the behind no longer stops the behavior, what's your next move? Yell louder? Spank harder? More often? Switch to something else, like a spoon or a belt? Because the only option is to increase the intensity in that moment.

Michaela has been in the CrossFit Community for 9 years now. She is a regional and games athlete, and in 2017 her team WON the CrossFit Games.

But this isn't why we had her on the podcast- if you follow her on social media (@hungryfitness) you will see how her positive parenting style shines through in all that she does. A quote from our interview "If you think of the most amazing things you have accomplished in life, usually you've had to work really hard for those things, and its not something you've just been handed. The same goes for kids, there is SO much sacrifice that goes into being a parent, and when you sacrifice for someone, you develop such a strong love for those people. And the best way to love someone is to serve them, and when you have kids that's what you're doing all day long! It just makes your life so much more rich."
