Up-to-date, modern and science backed understandings of challenging behaviours exhibited by children and adolescents.

 

Challenging childhood behaviours are arguably one of the greatest sources of frustration for parents, early childhood educators, teachers, support workers, therapists, medical professionals and the community. They are also hugely misunderstood, couched in outdated ideas about how children should behave rather than how they can behave based on their stage of development and a broad range of contextual factors.

This 4 hour live online workshop will:

• Explore what challenging childhood behaviours are and why the systems around children are currently failing them (and you!) in the management of challenging childhood behaviours.
• Unpack the core milestones in brain development and highlight their relationship to challenging childhood behaviours.
• Compare traditional and modern models of children's behaviour and explain why traditional models have done a disservice to children and those who care for them.
• Briefly introduce you to Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and make an argument challenging the validity of the diagnosis.
• Present new ways to conceptualise challenging childhood behaviours in children and adolescents, with specific interventions you can apply immediately (without the need for any prior therapy training).
