Publisher's Summary

Supporting kids with challenging behaviours can be difficult – but change the narrative, and you may be surprised.

Most children will behave in challenging ways at some point, but persistent and difficult-to-deal-with behaviours can have a negative impact on relationships and learning.

For educators, health professionals and caregivers who find traditional methods of behaviour management ineffective, Challenging the Story offers a fresh perspective and actionable strategies for positive change.

Listen to this audiobook to:

• Approach challenging behaviours with curiosity and compassion

• Apply innovative, proven strategies to encourage positive behaviour while treating kids with respect and kindness

• Build strong bonds with children and create an environment of trust and mutual respect

• Improve your skills in dealing with difficult behaviours in a variety of scenarios

• Guide children towards significant, lasting change and a new, more positive narrative for a brighter future

Critic Reviews

‘Dave’s passion for supporting people who support kids is palpable. Creatively woven through Challenging the Story are stories that touch the heart and offer a transformative view of how we as adults can shift ourselves to be present to the children in our lives.’

Kim Barthel, OTR, award-winning occupational therapist, best-selling author and multidisciplinary teacher on behaviour, neurobiology, trauma-sensitive practice, attachment, sensory processing, mental health, leadership and learning

‘Empowering, practical, essential, memorable. Dave’s book is a must-read for all who have or work with children. Weaving theoretical and practical wisdom, this book ultimately serves the highest health and happiness of present and future generations.’

Sonia Bestulic, award-winning author, speaker, podcaster, speech pathologist and intuitive life coach

Challenging the Story is a wonderful, engaging and captivating book that skilfully delves into the world of neurodivergent children. The ingenious use of characters not only brings the story to life but also serves as a powerful tool to educate readers about neurodiversity and how to support neurodivergent children in their learning environments – a must- read for educators, teachers, therapists and anyone involved in working with children.’

Claire Joyce, paediatric occupational therapist, director at Learn Through Play and author of the How Does Your Body Feel? boxset
