WHY MINDSET MATTERS – SEE THE MEANING IN CHILDREN’S BEHAVIOUR
Dianne Enks
Children can present with a wide array of complex needs and behaviours which may
be difficult to make sense of and can be stressful to manage. This workshop aims to
help educators gain an understanding that all behaviour is meaningful. This provides
a key that opens the door to new possibilities for behaviour support, as educators work
to develop nurturing relationships that meet children’s needs and teach the social and
emotional skills that support true inclusion and emotional wellbeing.
