Who Does Your Child See in the Mirror?

Children in the 8-12 year old range experience increase their process of forming a unique set of traits, attitudes, and behaviors that will define who they are. This process starts at birth and continues throughout childhood and adolescence. During this time, children are constantly learning from their environment, experiences, and the people around them. The way they perceive and interpret these inputs shapes their personalities.

Discover Your Child's Unique Talents, Strengths, Talents and Abilities.

Giving your child an understanding of their innate talents and strengths (at least, some are yet to be discovered) lays the foundation for their future success and well-being. Children with positive self-image are more likely to be happy, confident, and successful in life. They are also better equipped to handle stress, adversity, and challenges that come their way. On the other hand, children with a negative self-view and low-self esteem, may struggle with issues like anxiety, depression, and other negative self images that can compound if they keep these hurtful self-beliefs to themselves. The DISC for KIDS PLUS report measures the child's current self image and shows you, the parent or guardian how to address these self-deprecating issues in a positive and growth oriented way. 

How Behavior Analysis Can Help Children Improve Their Pre-Adolescent Lives?

Behavior Analysis is a scientific approach that seeks to understand human behavior and the factors that influence it. It involves studying the relationship between behavior, environment, and consequences. At D.I.S.C. for Kids PLUS, our Behavior Analysts use this approach to help children improve their personalities and develop positive behaviors.

Here are some ways Behavior Analysis can help children:

Our D.I.S.C. for Kids PLUS Report's Behavior Analysis can help identify potential problem behaviors that are or will likely soon negatively impact a child's development.
