“But I Want to Be Good!” Understanding and Responding to Behaviours that Challenge delves into the practical and insightful guidance on how educators and early childhood services can effectively support children displaying challenging behaviours in early childhood settings. Drawing on the author’s four decades of professional and personal experience in early years education, particularly with children with diverse and significant needs, this book offers grounded strategies and approaches.

Key features of the book include:

  1. Understanding Neurodiversity and Trauma: Exploring the complexities of neurodiversity and trauma and their impact on children’s behaviour.
  2. Strategies for Response: Providing practical strategies for responding to challenging behaviours in a supportive and effective manner.
  3. Proactive Approach: Focusing on prevention and proactive measures to mitigate the impact on educator well-being when dealing with persistent challenging behaviours.
