Do you sometimes struggle to deal with your child's tantrums, rudeness or aggression?
Does your child often play up to get your attention?
Does your child sometimes wind you up until you feel desperate?
If you answer yes to even some of these questions, this book is for you.
Caring for looked after children can be an immensely stressful and complex task. Managing Difficult Behaviour is a unique handbook that aims to provide foster carers with new skills to help them improve a child s behaviour. Full of useful tips, case examples and exercises, this handbook addresses key areas including:
how to be good at giving praise
giving positive attention
establishing boundaries
using rewards
helping children learn from their actions
giving instructions
using time-out.
The techniques and strategies set out in this book are not difficult to understand or to put into practice. The improvements in relationships and in children s behaviour will make every day seem easier and more manageable.
Managing Difficult Behaviour does not provide all the answers there are no right answers when dealing with the variety of ways that troubled children express their frustration, anger, stress and insecurity. But it does set out ways in which foster carers can help children, in their own way and in their own home.
The training outlined in Managing Difficult Behaviour is based on the Fostering Changes Programme, set up in 1999 at the Maudsley Hospital in London. Tried and tested by carers this programme provides practical advice and skills-based training to develop foster carers skills in managing difficult and challenging child behaviour and forming positive relationships with the children they look after.
