A child’s difficulties can often present themselves at home rather than showing any signs in school. The Beyond Behaviour group is a 6-week workshop designed to teach parents and carers strategies to support their children to:
- Reduce challenging behaviours
- Regulate their emotions
- Build confidence & independence
- Communicate their feelings
Beyond Behaviour is aimed mainly at primary school ages and some secondary school ages, which address possible reasons for the child’s behaviours.
The group can be delivered digitally via Microsoft Teams, or face-to-face within school. Each session is an hour long and will be delivered on the same day, same time, each week. In some circumstances, we can deliver the sessions on a 1:1 basis – these adaptations will be considered on an individual basis and may be adapted to suit the needs of parents/carers at a mutually agreed time.
The sessions cover the following topics:
- Child development
- Understanding the functions of behaviour
- Different strategies to manage challenging behaviours
The Beyond Behaviour group aims to provide a safe space to share difficulties and problem-solve together. Participation during the sessions is not necessary, but encouraged. Parents and carers will have the opportunity to share ideas, thoughts and ask questions with others.
Our Beyond Behaviours groups are part of a selection of workshops and resources specifically for parents and carers of children and young people in Derby and Derbyshire, to help them get the support they need. Find out more about the support we offer parents and carers here.
