Understand and Solve
Children's Behavioural
Challenges
By

John Murray Press
A 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.

This book uses neuroscientific findings to help you deconstruct


behaviour challenges, and to discover their cause and triggers for
your child. It will show you how to apply this knowledge across a
variety of behaviour spectrums, from children diagnosed with
autism or other forms of neurodiversity, to those who might have
been exposed to toxic stress or trauma during their early years.
There are practical strategies to implement at every stage, backed up
by impactful worksheets and charts, with a strong emphasis not on
'managing' behaviour, but instead on helping children and families
build positive experiences to counteract the stress and pressure felt
by everybody when you're working, or living, with a child who has
behavioural challenges.

Accessible, practical, warmly supportive and steeped in research


and clinical expertise, Beyond Behaviours offers 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.
