Parents, teachers and other professionals often struggle to know
how to deal with disruptive, abusive or aggressive behaviour. This
book addresses the urgent need for a realistic, practical and
effective approach to dealing with severe disruptive behaviour in
children and adolescents. Adapting the principles of non-violent
resistance originally advocated by Mahatma Gandhi, the book
provides de-escalation techniques which empower the adult and
unburden the distressed child. The authors outline the theoretical
basis upon which the approach was developed, and explain how and
why it can be so effective. Case studies demonstrate how the
approach can be used to reach more successful places with unhappy
and disruptive children of different ages. A separate section for
parents provides useful advice on how to take the theoretical
material and use it to deal with problematic behaviour in everyday
life. As effective as it is original, this approach will empower
desperate parents and despairing caregivers by equipping them with
hands-on tools to contain, counter and positively direct the
aggression and opposition which they face from children in
distress.
