Managing challenging behaviours

This course gives learners an insight into what causes challenging behaviours in children and young people and provides tools for communicating with them, managing their behaviour and for keeping them safe. All behaviour is functional and we look at the reasons behind behaviours, what may have influenced the young person in their life and how this life experience can manifest in behaviour seen at home and at school. Unregulated stress can lead to challenging behaviour. This behaviour can go one of two ways: Hyperarousal and Dissociation. And we look at both of these in more detail and how to support a child in each situation.
