Behaviour
  • Challenging behaviour is often an attempt at communication – it’s not being naughty. Try to identify the trigger for the behaviour. Identify sources of anxiety.
  • The child may have outbursts of aggression just like a much younger child due to delayed emotional development.
  • Be consistent in everything you do. Discuss behavioural issues with others and make sure everyone agrees on the approach to be used.
  • Always give advance warning of changes in routine.
