Key learning

Exploring our thoughts and beliefs about behaviour

Interpreting behaviours, and what this tells us about a child’s internal state

Using the internal state and developmental stage of a child to inform our responses

This webinar is aimed at those working with children who work with children who display 'challenging' behaviour.

Background

How we view and respond to a child’s behaviour has changed over time. Traditional approaches, that are still being used today, are reactive and have many limitations. If we really want to minimise the reoccurrence of distressed behaviour and bring about long-term change for our children and young people, we need to understand what is going on in their bodies and brains. We also need to be aware of the impact of environmental factors surrounding the child and how we can stay connected when relationships are being pushed to the limit.

This session translates recent findings in neuroscience into practical approaches that help the adult to make sense of behaviour and respond in a considered way. It explores how we can be proactive, making small changes to daily routines that will equip children with the skills they need to meet the demands of everyday life.
