Podcast #2. Behavior

In this episode of The B·A·I·N·E·S Lens, Jessica Molloy breaks down Behavior—and why it’s one of the most misunderstood topics in parenting and education. Most people label behavior as “good” or “bad.” Jessica looks at it differently: behavior is communication. Your child’s reactions are shaped by what’s happening in their environment, how well their needs are being met (sleep, hunger, movement, overstimulation), and whether they can express what’s actually going on underneath the surface. You’ll hear real-life examples (a freezing Maine hike, a transition that went sideways, and the infamous grocery store lime incident) and practical takeaways you can use to better understand what behavior is really telling you—especially for kids with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and other neurodevelopmental differences. In this episode, we cover: Why behavior is a signal—not a character flaw How environment + transitions change reactions fast Why kids “hold it together” at school and melt down at home How anxiety can look like anger, disruption, shutdown, or avoidance The parent shift: expectations vs. skills (and when expectations need to change) How to support behavior instead of trying to “control” it Resource mentioned: Ross Greene and Lives in the Balance Next episode: The B·A·I·N·E·S Lens: Aspirations (goal setting with your kids and family)
