Positive behaviour support guides children’s behaviour towards appropriate ways of behaving by using positive and constructive strategies.
Children can behave in challenging ways at different developmental stages and in particular environments. Therefore, understanding your child’s behaviour is essential in encouraging positive behaviour. When you know what is behind your child’s behaviour, you can choose an appropriate strategy to match the behaviour.
Building and nurturing strong connections with your child is vital with all positive behaviour support and management strategies. Strong connections are a lifelong journey that will help your child learn appropriate behaviour through each developmental stage.
Sometimes the difficult part is working out why your child behaves a certain way before you can determine how best to respond.
As your child grows and develops, they will learn more about appropriate behaviour. With your help, they also will start building skills to regulate their emotions and behaviour. Your child’s developmental stage is also essential to recognise and think about what else is happening for the child. It is crucial to remember that understanding developmental stages and other reasons behind your child’s behaviour do not mean you can ignore challenging behaviour. However, it does assist you in working out how to respond. This will also make it easier to know if you need extra help with your child’s behaviour.
At Beyond the Surface Counselling, I help you choose behaviour management strategies that are right for you, your child, your family and your situation. You might need to have a few different behavioural strategies in your toolbox to determine what best suits your child’s age, developmental stage, and family circumstances. The extra support I can provide you with positive behaviour management strategies will assist you in building a secure and positive home environment and strengthen family relationships through respect, communication, love and playfulness.
