In this session we’ll consider the adult’s perception of children’s behavior. We’ll discuss an important dynamic, often hidden, that drives human behavior. When we are involved in conflict with children it may be easy to overlook this motivation.
What is that motivation?
Personal needs. Children’s actions are judged as misbehaviors when those behaviors come into conflict with the desires of parents and other adults. What we may judge or perceive to be misbehaviors are a child’s efforts to have their needs met.
In this session you’ll learn…
- Why behavior is need driven
- How fundamental human needs drive child and adult development
