I use a mixture of gentle conversation, clips of youtube videos, audio clips and screen shots as part of the tutorial - done through Microsoft Teams or in person if that is practical. Though the bulk of the lesson is through conversation - with me asking questions, offering options and then us discussing the likely outcomes.

I have a lot of personal anecdotal experience to pass on - which illustrate scenarios and situations and options available.

Being able to read Child Behaviour and manage Child Behaviour is about reading the situation, and knowing your options. Each situation can have a different solution - but that's all dependant upon you understanding the needs of the child - and Attachment Theory helps us with that. So I will take you right through all of Attachment Theory - so you understand how children of each of the attachment styles view you, view themselves and the world around them.

I will then talk you through PACE - which is a great strategy for working with children of trauma.

I will also go through the PolyVagal Theory - which will help you understand how the brain and the body can escalate situations - and conversely, how we can use the body and the brain of the child, to calm and learn to cope with their big, big emotions.

Then there are some general guiding background tips - that I would hope form the ethos of how you care for children with behaviours who challenge. Because these are children of trauma - who need our understanding, our care and our empathy. They are not "just naughty" children - where behavourist strategies of discipline and punishment are seen as the answer. The behaviourist approach offers no long term solution for the child, for those who work with them - and for society in general.
