Early childhood expulsions for behavior challenges have reached an all-time high. Parents and early childhood caregivers can use the acronym H-U-G-S to tune in and "hear" their child's behavioral cues, "understand" what the child is trying to communicate with the behavior, "give" the child a clear response, and use the process consistently for the best "success."
