From Tantrums to Triumphs: How Behavior Therapy Transforms Family Life
Every behavior has a purpose.
A tantrum isn’t “bad behavior.”
Defiance isn’t disrespect.
Avoidance isn’t laziness.
Kids communicate with their actions when they lack the skills to communicate with words.
Behavior therapy teaches those skills.
At Skill Time, we help children move from overwhelm → clarity, from tantrums → emotional control, and from frustration → confidence.
What Behavior Therapy Actually Is
Behavior therapy focuses on understanding:
triggers
emotional states
unmet needs
environmental factors
skill deficits
communication gaps
Then teaching replacement skills.
This is how children grow—not through punishment but through support, structure, and connection.
