16th September 2018 Reading Time: 1 minute Parenting, Behavioural Change, Communication, Relationships, Teenagers. 6284 views.

When you look at an iceberg, on the surface you are only seeing a fraction of what is really going on underneath. Underneath is a jagged, complicated mass of problems.  Much like a Child’s behaviour.  What you see on the surface, is not a true reflection of what is really going on underneath.
