FAQ: Jungle Behaviour Board Game
What is Jungle Behaviour?
Jungle Behaviour is a unique board game that promotes positive behaviour in children. It has been designed especially to facilitate learning opportunities for kids aged 4-10.
Kids learn better by repetition, and Jungle Behaviour was purposely designed to be played over and over. Kids just LOVE to play games with their parents so the more you play, the more opportunities you’ll have to reinforce positive behaviours in a fun way.
Jungle Behaviour has been used very successfully to help children with every day issues like getting dressed in the morning or doing homework! Read the rest of this entry »

His behavior and lack of ‘interest in school work’ almost led to him being ‘asked to leave’ his School. As his Mum my gut reaction was ‘How dare you write my son off!’
I knew my son and he was capable of finishing School in Year 12 and go on to follow his dreams. I thought ‘Why should ADHD and Dyslexia limit his potential?’
I hope my telling you our story will offer some hope and ideas to help you if this is causing problems for your Family. I asked William if I could write this and he is 100% behind me telling his story as he wished he had known a positive outcome was possible when he felt the world was against him!

ADHD behaviour
At my office in Erina, Tina arrived looking exhausted and trailing her three boys behind her. She was at her wits end with her energetic children.
She said all the boys were a handful but Callum was the worst. ‘School says he has ADHD, but I don’t know how to help him. What can I do? Will he ever be normal? Will he get a job after school?’.
Tina is not alone. It is a story I hear a lot and really want to help people like her. I have been one of those Mums!
