Five things to remember when working with challenging behavior

Challenging behavior is often a way for the person to communicate their needs or wants, or to cope with stress or anxiety. It is important to remember that the behavior is not about you.

💕 Finding a kid-friendly self-referral form can be challenging, so I created one for you! It asks students to circle whether they’d like to chat about school, friends, or home; share a bit about their need; and describe the size of their problem. Please be sure to teach students the difference between small, medium, and big problems before using this form with them! 🤗

🙌🏻 I love how self-referral forms empower students to advocate for themselves and speak up for their needs!

The boundaries we set for ourselves are a form of self-discipline that allow us to minimize habits and behaviors that are not good for our mental or physical health.

They help us monitor our behavior and create healthy habits in our lives.

Personal boundaries look different for everyone. There is no one-size-fits-all. They depend on your current circumstances and priorities.

For example, I have a very strict boundary around not staying up past my bedtime. I know if I don't get proper sleep, I am less efficient the next day and my mood is dysregulated. To avoid this, I try my best to sleep on time and even have a reminder set for this on my phone.

What are some boundaries you have with yourself?

If you are enjoying my content, I’d love for you to join my free bi-weekly newsletter, Psychology Snippets, where I share mental wellness information, productivity tips, and applicable strategies to improve our psychological health. You will also get my self-actualization journal when you sign up! I hope you find it helpful. (The link is in my bio).

Take care of your mind and body. Love, Nawal ♥️

The goal is not always to END the behavior, but it's to prevent it from happening again in the future.

Our job is so much more than teaching content 💙.
