2026 10 09 Online (day): Supporting Your Young Person in Distress & Reframing Challenging Behaviour
When a young person shows what we often call “challenging behaviour,” it is usually a signal of distress rather than defiance. This webinar will begin by reframing challenging behaviour as communication (the signal!), helping us see what lies beneath the surface. Together, we will explore why these distress behaviours occur, with clear examples to make sense of common situations. We’ll then look at the foundations of boundary setting. Along the way, we’ll reflect on why standard parenting advice around consequences may not always help, and how rethinking our responses can foster a stronger sense of safety, trust, and well-being. You’ll leave with a clearer lens for understanding behaviour, as well as practical tools to support both your child and yourself in moments of distress.
