Challenging behaviour is just the symptom of the problem--The child’s response to a trigger isn’t the issue, the reason they are triggered is the problem. All humans can become dysregulated when they are triggered and this workshop focuses on ways that adults can help children and adolescents move from a dysregulated state to a regulated one. Only when a child is regulated, can they both discuss and solve the problem together.
​
