Managing Challenging Behaviour

Factsheet | Physical Wellbeing

A factsheet for parents, carers and professionals

This factsheet looks at challenging behaviour in children with brain conditions: what it is, why it happens, how we understand it and what we can do about it. Some behaviours are a challenge to professionals and teachers as well as parents and carers. Intervention is needed when the behaviour of the child or young person causes harm to themselves or others or if it prevents them living life to their full potential.
