Key Points Summary
1. When we know from science that some people aren’t so
lucky and will find it genuinely more difficult to keep to
expectations and manage stressors, it seems crazy that
we would do things that make the situation worse.
2. Our job as parents, carers, educators or supporters
should be to help children feel better and build the skills
to manage when stressors come their way.
3. It is clear from the Cycle of Stress-Based Behaviours that
if we simply do things that make a child feel worse, we
can expect the challenging behaviours to also get worse.
