Course Overview
Trying the patience of parents is part of a child's healthy and normal development, it's a child's way of practising their independence. As difficult and frustrating as this may be for parents, these episodes often pass. Distressed behaviour in children is prolonged and can take many forms - anger, lack of attention, physical and verbal abuse, reluctance to socialise, self-harm and risk of injury to themselves or others. The root of distressed behaviour can be varied, complex and left unaddressed, which can contribute to further mental issues in adolescents.
This TQUK Distance Learning course is an online short course that will enable learners to gain a general awareness of the causes of distressed behaviour, along with an understanding of an appropriate way to support a child displaying distressed behaviour. Learners will consider how other characteristics such as mental health, learning disabilities and sensory processing or autism conditions can play a role in distressed behaviour being displayed by a child. Finally, learners will gain an understanding of how current UK Legislation underpins approaches to providing support for a child who displays distressed behaviour.
