How can therapy improve my child's imitation?

Answer

How can therapy improve my child's Impulse?

Toddler impulse control is still developing because the brain's 'braking system' is young. Behaviour therapy builds it through wait games, naming feelings, predictable routines and praising every pause — coaching parents so practice becomes real-life calm. It is skill-building, not discipline.

Answer

How can therapy improve my child's impulsivity?

Answer
