In dealing with children, sometimes we forget that all behavior comes from the child's need in communicating something to adults. John Snyder, in his article "Talking with parents on the periphery," quotes Sandy Blackard saying:
"All behavior-even dysfunctional ones-are ultimately driven by healthy needs. Recognizing the need allows us to see and ally ourselves with the good in children, regardless of their behavior."
