I am always puzzled when people say a behavior occurred “out of the blue” or “came from nowhere.” I dont know if it is my professional side or my cynical side that makes me question that. If you get behaviors that occur “out of the blue,” you are probably missing something. Write it down or keep a log. You might find something…time of day, lack of sleep, hunger, presence or absence of something or someone, school days/non-school days, late lunch, early lunch…

Lesson? Dont be superstitious about your child’s behavior. Happy Friday 13th.
