Anger and challenging behaviour in neurodiverse young people

This session has been developed in consultation with parents and carers of SEND/Neurodivergent young people Anger and challenging behaviour is something that all parents will see displayed by their teenager at some point- this is part of teenage brain development and we all find ways to manage family life. But what about those times when the general advice given does not work- when your young person has different needs and therefore needs a different strategy? In this session we explore what as a parent or carer can you do to keep yourself and your young person safe and well and help you to understand what might be going on inside your teenager’s brain . We can explore different tools and ideas to support our young people to feel calmer and safer and recognise the triggers for the behaviours that can make family life difficult.
