About the session
Firstly, there will be a brief introduction about the science behind disruptive behaviour and why it is important to get on top of it early if possible. Then there will be a description of how parents can manage this, including videotapes of the methods ‘Love and Limits’. Finally there will be a summary of the evidence base underpinning these techniques, showing that if they are implemented, they have long-lasting effects.
Key learning takeaways
- To understand the harmful long-term effects of disruptive behaviour if it is not treated
- To see some of the techniques that are effective in action on videotapes
- To become familiar with some of the objective evidence about what works
Who should attend
It will be of particular interest to parents, those working in education, such as teachers, educational psychologists, and those with a pastoral care responsibility, plus those who oversee youth work such as social workers. Additionally, those working as therapists and practioners should attended, and those interested in the effects of sleep on mental health.
