Editor's Notes
Thanks for coming
Background on me
Feedback is welcome with open arms
To understand the schools behaviour management policy / look at how we can escalate behaviour management situations in school.
1 – Attention: “I only belong when I am being noticed”
2 – I only belong when I am in control or I am the boss
3 – I belong only belong by hurting others as I feel hurt. I cannot be loved.
4– I belong only by convincing others not to expect anything from me.
Behaviour acts as a communication aid for some young people. When they act out or behave in a certain way they could be trying to tell you that they are
Frustration – they can’t do something or can’t tell you what they want
Fear – they are frightened of something
Strong feelings – they are unhappy or angry about something; they dislike or are unhappy about a situation.
Anxiety – they are feeling confused, worried, stressed, unable to think well
Hyperactivity – they have excess energy and cannot seem to burn it off
Discomfort – they are in pain and can’t tell you
Attention – they are making attempts to meet their need for attention, attachment and interaction by behaving in a certain way and they are wanting engagement with you
Difficulty with understanding – if your child has difficulties with understanding, they may not know what is expected. They may need time to work out what you mean and so don’t respond to an instruction when you expect them to. They might not know what is happening around them or retain information that you have given them.
Difficulty processing or making sense of sensory experiences in the environment – for example, certain touch, noise and lights may stress your child. Some children may have hyper or hypo-sensitivities to certain stimuli in an environment.
Seeking sensory input and/or experiences
It is up to us, to support these young people in finding strategies to hep them cope and ways to deal with it moving forwards.
We may see a lot of these in our SEND students because of there needs.
