In this installment of the ConnectCare series, we explore challenging behaviors in children. We define behavior, its purposes, and its impact on a child's life. We highlight the four core functions behind these behaviors: attention, tangibles, escaping tasks, and sensory needs. Using the ABC (Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence) method, we demonstrate how to interpret behavioral cues. This session lays the foundation for understanding and positively influencing children's behaviors.
