De-escalation is important but it is only part of the process: if we really want to change behaviour, we have to understand it.\nThe causes of poor behaviour are many and varied: fear, stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed can all take their toll. Changing Perceptions examines the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it, detailing ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently. Better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom.\nEmpathy is the master key to unlocking the most challenging pupils. When we consistently respond to children with empathy and compassion, we don’t just put a sticking plaster over a problem, we change their experiences: how they feel and how they behave long term. Importantly, this approach also greatly improves staff wellbeing by increasing understanding of challenging behaviour and how it is perceived.\nIn this book, Graham sets out why it is so important to teach behaviour and provides practical ways to deal with the most challenging situations in the classroom and stop the conflict spiral. He also covers the importance of validating feelings, building self-esteem, improving emotional resilience, raising expectations, fostering positive values and much more.\nEssential reading for teachers, school leaders and everyone working with challenging behaviour.\nContents include: Introduction Chapter 1: Relationships Chapter 2: How we respond Chapter 3: The origins of behaviour Chapter 4: Short-term survival responses Chapter 5: What is the behaviour communicating?
