3. Behaviour as communication

We might be thinking we have assessed the needs of the child and created the best child-centred care environment we can. We may all be following the same plan to give the child the continuity of experience and relationships necessary to feel settled, a key factor in stability.

What is it about behaviour that we need to remember at that moment?

  • That it is all the child's responsibility?
  • That the child is choosing this behaviour?
  • That the child can't help it?
  • That all behaviour is communication?
