Online Workshop – Trying Differently: A Relationship Approach to Challenging Behaviours

Most parenting and professional approaches to challenging behaviours do not recognize brain development and the power of relationships. Instead, interventions often target presenting behaviours for change. Trying differently means to expand our range of options and move from punishing behaviours to understanding them, and to changing the environment and our expectations of the children/youth. This workshop is designed to help professionals and parents shift from changing the child’s behaviour to reframing perceptions, changing the way they respond to the behaviour and developing appropriate and effective support strategies.  We will also explore the key role of relationship in addressing challenging behaviour.
