There are no simple solutions or answers for working with children, young people and parents to manage and change challenging behaviour. There are, however, a range of approaches that practitioners may consider using. This course is intended for all children’s workforce practitioners, i.e. all staff who work with children, young people and their families. Although this course forms part of an induction programme for new starters, it is also intended for all practitioners who want to improve their knowledge and continue their professional development.
The course contains additional resource materials, useful links and a refresher guide. It will enable you to:
- Outline the benefits of studying the behaviour of the child or young person
- Examine the words used to describe behaviour
- Consider both observable and hidden aspects of behaviour
- Explore what is meant by acceptable behaviour
- Look at examples of how to manage the challenging behaviour of various age groups
The aim of this course is to give learners an awareness of child development and the opportunity to begin to think about how an understanding of how children and young people develop impacts on practice. This course is intended for all children’s workforce practitioners, i.e. all staff who work with children, young people and their families. Although this course forms part of an induction programme for new starters, it is also intended for all practitioners who want to improve their knowledge and continue their professional development.
