Being a parent is hard work, and many parents find it difficult to manage their child's behaviour at times. Children can present with a wide range of challenging behaviours, and they can all challenging different people to different degrees. When thinking about your child's behaviour it is important to remember that all behaviour has a purpose, and understanding what the purpose of a behaviour is helps us to consider how we can teach them alternative behaviours to achieve that goal.

 

Managing challenging behaviours can be hard, however a great foundation is general parenting skills. Have a look at the following resource to remind yourself of best practice parenting approaches: https://www.theparentingplace.com/toolbox-parenting-courses/
