- Is a whole new way of thinking of child and caregiver interactions regardless of the age of the child or the exact relationship to the caregiver.
- Views the child as a whole human with emotions, needs, and wants that are communicated to the people around him/her via language and behavior.
- Views behavior as a form of communication not as "good" or "bad".
- Is grounded in the realization that life is happening, interpersonal relationships can be challenging for lots of reasons, caregivers might be tired and stressed, children are ever changing in their development and related behaviors and skills, and family relationship and behavior shifts are totally possible and the best way to make those shifts are in baby steps with support.
- Is a book and course created by Kathryn Kvlos founder of the International Network of Children and Families and is strongly influenced by the word of Dr. Dreikurs, author of "Children: The Challenge."
Kathryn sums it up well here: Why learn Redirecting Children's Behavior?

- I hate you! - Revenge, where does it come from and how to love through it.
- Balancing Work and Family

Redirecting Children's Behavior Full Course:
The RCB full course is a multiple week course broken into six 2 1/2 hour classes (usually once per week). It uses the RCB textbook, workbook, and classroom discussion, skits, and lessons to teach caregivers of children of all ages to redirect, reduce, and prevent misbehavior.
