Children
Challenging behaviour in young children can create tension in families and strain both parents, siblings and the child themselves. These behaviours typically are not employed on purpose, they are usually non-conscious ways of highlighting a need that your child cannot express. These behaviours if misunderstood can become entrenched and create more tension and stress in the family. Examples of challenging behaviour can include:
- Physical and verbal tics
- Stimming and self-regulation
- Oppositional and defiance
- Neurodiversity
- Sensory processing
