You wonder what could have occurred during that short period of time to cause such a change in your child’s mood. While sometimes the reasons may be obvious, on other occasions you are stumped as to what happened and find yourself in the midst of playing catch up and trying to help your child calm down.

As parents, you may feel like it is a constant juggling act, and sometimes (or many times) you think you are “dropping” the ball.
