Mona Delahooke: Beyond Behaviours, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

FULLY UPDATED, A NEW EDITION OF THE BESTSELLING PARADIGM SHIFT FOR CAREGIVERS THAT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY YOU APPROACH, TREAT OR PARENT A CHILD WITH CHALLENGING OR EXPLOSIVE BEHAVIOURS.

When you are confronted with a child who is troubled, disruptive, oppositional, defiant or angry - whether you are a parent or a teacher - it can be difficult to know the best way to support them. Traditional methods of 'shaping' a child's behaviour can often be at best ineffective, at worst distressing, for child and adult alike.

Drawing on 30 years of experience, internationally known paediatric psychologist Dr Mona Delahooke describes these troubled behaviours as the 'tip of the iceberg', important signals that point to deeper, individual differences in the child that we need to understand and address before we can resolve behavioural challenges. Using the very latest neuroscientific research Beyond Behaviours makes the case that many children who can't seem to behave simply don't have the developmental capacity to do so - yet.

Fully updated, this new edition features:

• Neuroscience-based strategies to address the root causes of behaviors
  -Accessible worksheets, charts and handouts to promote resilience and build satisfying, secure relationships
  -A new chapter with answers to common questions from the Beyond Behaviours community

Designed to support children diagnosed with:
-Conduct disorder
-Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)
-Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD)
-Reactive attachment disorder (RAD)
-Sensory processing disorder (SPD)
-Anxiety and depression

As well as:
-Autistic children and teens

And those experiencing:
-Developmental or learning differences
-Aggressive, confusing, or unpredictable behaviors
-Tantrums and meltdowns
-Disconnection or shutdown
-Trauma, toxic stress, or adverse childhood experiences

Accessible, practical, warmly supportive and steeped in research and clinical expertise, Beyond Behavioursoffers a break-through book which guides us - parents and caregivers alike - to the realisation that the most important tool in our toolkit is always our connection with the child standing in front of us.
