About this title

Synopsis

Would you like to develop a better relationship with the child you are caring for Do you sometimes struggle to deal with your child s tantrums or aggression Does your child often play up to get your attention Does your child sometimes wind you up until you feel desperate If you answer yes to just some of these questions, this book is for you. Fostering is a challenging and important role. It changes children s lives, but it can make many and varied demands on foster carers. Some of the challenges arise from children presenting behaviours that can be difficult to deal with. Managing Difficult Behaviour is a unique handbook that aims to provide foster carers with new skills to help them manage a child s behaviour and improve their relationship with him or her. This revised and updated edition, which contains significant new content, is full of useful tips, case examples and exercises, and addresses key areas being good at giving praise; listening to and talking with your child; using play to give positive attention; using rewards and setting limits; learning to be good at giving instructions; Using ignoring to improve behaviour; helping children learn from the consequences of their actions; using time-out and problem solving; and helping carers to care for themselves. Managing Difficult Behaviour does not provide all the answers there are no right answers when dealing with the variety of ways that troubled children express their frustration, anger, stress and insecurity. But it does set out ways in which foster carers can help children, in their own way and in their own home. The training outlined in Managing Difficult Behaviour is based on the Fostering Changes Programme set up in 1999 at the Maudsley Hospital in London
