This Managing Challenging Behaviour course explores the dynamics of handling difficult behaviours exhibited by children. As our society evolves with shifting roles, social norms, relationships, and identity constructs, navigating childhood and adolescence becomes increasingly complex.

Furthermore, this course equips participants with valuable insights into the root causes of challenging behaviours in children and young people. Therefore, by comprehending these underlying factors, educators and caregivers gain effective tools for communication, behaviour management, and ensuring children's safety.

Moreover, this course serves as a beacon of guidance, fostering a supportive environment where children can thrive despite challenges. With a deeper understanding of addressing challenging behaviours, participants can cultivate stronger connections with the children in their care. This empowerment enables children to navigate societal complexities with resilience and confidence.

Through the provision of practical strategies and techniques, this course not only enhances educators' and caregivers' skills but also contributes to the holistic development and well-being of the children and young people they support.

• What is challenging behaviour in children and young people?
• Harmful challenging behaviour
• Stress as a trigger for challenging behaviour
