Welcome.

This web page contains a practical behaviour management ‘first aid kit’ originally produced to assist early childhood staff and families supporting children with challenging behaviours in the Northern Sydney Network. Due to the popularity of the document, it was decided to post it on this web site for the use of new services and families outside the Northern Sydney Network.

The document is a ‘starter kit’ for staff to download, update and expand. It’s brief, easy to read format is full of workable suggestions and ideas for both staff and families. The information sheets for families are coloured yellow on the PDF file for quick identification.

In order to reflect the reality of today’s diverse approaches to behaviour management, this document contains articles by various authors describing a range of approaches. Although this creates complexity for both early childhood staff and families, it also provides readers with the rationale or the approach they may feel most comfortable adopting. Additionally, children are individuals, and different approaches suit different children.

You have three options on this web page:

We hope this document will be of benefit to early childhood staff, families and children. Enjoy!
