Presentation 2:
BEHAVIOUR CHANGE - REAL ideas to tame ugly behaviours

This workshop centres around 3 foundation ideas that every parent struggle to get right and maintain;

1. There is a reason for your child's behaviour

That's right - behaviour is trying to tell us something! As parents we need to be clever and work out what their behaviour is really saying. We need to scratch below it and understand what's driving it, instead of simply responding to the irritation it causes.

2. How behaviour works

• Children continue behaviour when they feel it is being rewarded.
• Children stop behaviour when they feel it is not being rewarded.

Our inconsistency, and sometimes misunderstanding, over what reward really means confuses them! So, let's look at the idea of reward together. What is the difference between 'reward' and 'giving attention'? Let's look at tweaking this together.

3. It takes an intelligent plan to manage kids wisely

And, this is even more so in the tricky moments. So, let's get up close and personal and fine tune your style so you leave invigorated to try a few new fresh ideas in the tricky moments! The secret to success lies in our capacity to review whether what we are doing is actually working for our kids, and if it's not, to tweak it so it advantages family life, and their future. An evening of enjoyment, quality learning and an opportunity to make some real differences.
