EP 67 | What Are We Missing When Behaviour Strategies Don’t Work?

Come along to my online workshop on October 10: Leading Behaviour With Warm Authority.

Why can we have hundreds of behaviour strategies at our fingertips and still find ourselves wondering what the heck to actually do when behaviour gets hard?

Strategies absolutely have a place when we’re working with behaviour, but having more of them doesn’t necessarily make us better equipped to support the child in front of us. In this episode, I’m unpacking why behaviour strategies keep letting us down and why the answer often lies in understanding the behaviour well enough to know which support makes sense (rather than searching for the perfect strategy).

You’ll hear:

✨ Why having more behaviour strategies doesn’t necessarily leave us feeling better equipped

✨ How the expectations we hold and the labels we give behaviour shape the strategies we reach for

✨ Why a strategy doesn’t have to immediately stop a behaviour to be “working”

✨ Why behaviour being contextual means the same strategy can work beautifully one day and fall completely flat the next

Strategies are useful tools, but they can’t do the thinking for us. The more we understand the child, the context and what might be contributing to behaviour, the better placed we are to choose support intentionally - without needing another strategy every time something new comes up.
