Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 154: Dr. Mona Delahooke on Looking Beyond Children's Challenging Behaviors · 22 Apr 2019 podcast

I felt that as as a parent, I needed to discipline my child.

But what I was missing was the whole purpose behind the behavior.

And that would lead me down a much different road than discipline.

So I'm sorry I gave you a long explanation of why I wrote the book.

Well, that's a really good that's a really good question.

And and that's one of the problems is that we need to start to define

what is a you know, what is a behavior?

So in the most general sense, uh a behavior is an external response to either an internal feeling or a sensation or a thought or an emotion.

uh a behavior is is simply an an outward uh movement essentially as to what a person is experiencing and what's motivating them to move or say something or do something.

Now

We have become very um

judgmental of behaviors.

And I think as a culture, we have a a a definition of disruptive or challenging behaviors, for example.

And a disruptive or challenging behaviour.

is often seen as a choice a child is making.

And one of the biggest points I make is that

There's that expectation gap between what we think a child can do in terms of controlling their emotions and their behaviors and what a child or teenager

or a young adult can actually do.

in terms of controlling their emotions and behaviors.

We have something called an expectation gap.
