- The importance of non-verbal communication
- How reflection on an incident can assist in managing future behaviour
Challenging behaviour used to be called ‘problem behaviour’ but it is important to realise that an individual who displays challenging behaviour is not a ‘problem to be fixed’. Challenging behaviour is a sign that something isn’t working for the individual and this may be a need that is not being met or an inability to communicate their feelings. Behaviour can be described as challenging if it causes harm to the individual or others, or prevents the individual from fulfilling some aspect of their life, such as education, work or relationships. Such behaviour is a challenge to parents, carers and professionals working in various sectors, including education, health and social care and public services.
