Students with challenging behaviours can often disrupt the classroom and make learning difficult for everyone. That’s where behavioural support comes in.
Behavioural support is an approach used in schools to help students who struggle with managing their behaviour. This support can include strategies to build positive relationships, manage emotions, and improve communication skills.
Teachers and support staff work together to identify the root cause of the behaviour and develop a plan to address it. This might include individualized behaviour plans, counselling, or social skills training.
It’s important to remember that everyone benefits from behavioural support, not just students with challenging behaviours. When the whole class is working together towards positive behaviour, everyone can feel safe and supported in their learning environment.
Some things you can do to support your child’s behaviour at home include setting clear expectations, reinforcing positive behaviours, and praising good behaviour. Remember to stay patient and consistent as change doesn’t happen overnight.
With the right supports in place, students with challenging behaviours can succeed in school and beyond. It takes time and a lot of hard work, but the rewards are worth it.
