Managing Challenging Behaviour

​

As someone who works with children, it’s likely that difficult behaviour is one of the most challenging issues that you face. Challenging behaviour can be hard work to manage, but it’s important to consider the situation from the child’s perspective: children rarely misbehave for the sake of it; rather there is an underlying cause that needs to be identified and supported.

​

This Challenging Behaviour training course provides learners with the knowledge they need to respond appropriately to a child’s challenging behaviour.

 

The course teaches learners how to communicate with children effectively, how to help children deal with any issues, and how to improve children's behaviour in a confident and constructive manner. The course explains a range of child behaviour management techniques that you can use in your setting.

​

By the end of this course, learners will:

​

• Understand what challenging behaviour is and how it is defined in your setting.

• Understand what might cause difficult behaviour and how to build positive relationships with children.

• Be aware of the different strategies and techniques for managing and responding to difficult behaviour.

• Understand how incentives and rewards can be used to motivate change.

• Understand how to communicate clearly with children in order to set limits and boundaries and help the child to learn what is appropriate behaviour.

• Know how to deal with non-compliance.
