Early childhood behaviour support resources
Understand the Child, Understand the Challenging Behaviour
| Duration | 1.5 hours |
| Delivery | Your choice of live online, in-person, or pre-recorded presentation |
Updated in 2023 to include a Collaborative Behaviour Support plan – based on Dr Ross Greene’s observation that ‘Children will do well if they can’ (The Explosive Child, 2014). Explores the unmet needs behind challenging behaviour, and acknowledges that the child often uses challenging behaviour to replace a ‘lagging skill’, which will need to be taught if the behaviour is to change. The links between emotional dysregulation and challenging behaviour are also explored.
A Collaborative Behaviour Support Plan template is introduced, discussed and completed during a fictional case study. The All About Me document is highlighted as a way to identify any ‘lagging skills’ for the child, as well as strengths and interests which could be used to engage and motivate the child. Educators are encouraged to reflect on their current ways of documenting behaviour strategies.
