Managing Difficult Behaviour provides a one-off workshop to be used with parents and carers of children aged 3 to 8+ years. It is not intended for

The manual provides clear guidance on preparing for and running a two-hour workshop and includes photocopiable support materials, including a feedback form. All the materials are reassuring, practical and accessible, and have a sound theoretical basis.
The accompanying parent booklet is designed to be purchased in packs and given out to parents.
