It's wasn't me. A PACEful approach to understanding and addressing lying, stealing and aggression
How often have you heard, ‘It wasn’t me!’ Honest”!’ Join us for a free online session to explore a PACEful approach to understanding aggression, lying and stealing.
In this session:
- We will look at some of the underlying reasons around why children and young people may be aggressive, lie or steal, acknowledging that these behaviours can really challenge the relationship between carers and young people.
- We will offer some PACEful practical strategies that carers can use both ‘in the moment’ and longer term, to manage these kinds of presenting behaviours.
- Looking in depth at lying and stealing and aggression will build confidence to manage these challenging issues.
