Description

Show Notes: In this episode, I discuss the issue with looking at children's behaviour through a lens of 'what triggered that behaviour?'. We talk about the need to understand the Deep Why behind a child's behaviour, before you can work out how best to support them. I share a very relatable example for any parent - a child 'refusing' to leave the house when you need to get out the door, and how two very different approaches to understanding WHY the behaviour is happening leads to two very different outcomes! Here's a summary of some of the possible 'Deep Whys' behind behaviours: needing connection (this is fine!) sensory need or dysregulation difficulty sensing internal feelings (interoception) uncertainty about what's happening or expected task is too hard difficulty expressing needs, wants or emotions a combination of the above (most often!)
