MY BELIEFMY BELIEF “All Behaviour is Purposeful”
Strive for need fulfillment.
Acting out – externalizing behaviour
Frustration Acting in – internalizing
Cannot do both at the same time.

Internalizing ExternalizingInternalizing Externalizing
We all fit on a continuum pattern.
Focus on behaviour first, then curriculum.
Who has Quality Relationships? – Child’s perception.

PHILOSOPHICAL OVERVIEWPHILOSOPHICAL OVERVIEW
1. A person is basically good. “No one sets out to be bad.”
2. All behaviour is purposeful. This means that each person is “doing the best he can” to meet his needs at this time.
3. A person can learn a better way to meet his needs.
![Page 18: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4. A person needs to be able to make choices even in a setting which limits freedom.
5. A person will not change if there is nothing in it for him/her – no payoff.
6. By changing behaviour, we will change thinking and attitudes.
7. An environment which reinforces positive behaviour facilitates change more than one which focuses on negative behaviour.

CONDITIONS OF QUALITYCONDITIONS OF QUALITYThese six conditions can be used as a gauge or indicator to self-evaluate and talk about a quality experience, thing, or activity. These conditions are all present, possibly in varying degrees, when we’re getting close.
Warm, Caring Supportive Relationships

CRISIS INTERVENTIONCRISIS INTERVENTION I have learned (that has a greater
chance of working). Be pro-active (avoid going there). Be sensitive to the “triggers”. Recognize “behaviour change”. Intervene calmly (purposefully) in non-
threatening manner: verbally – body language.
Validate – “I see that you are not feeling O.K.”
![Page 23: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
J. Scott Waugh, MA (2010)
De-escalate – “At All Cost” Avoid “Power Struggles” – (Nobody
wins) “Go With The Energy” – Safely –
Somewhere else, example H.P. Deal with conflict resolution when all is
“calm” (not in the “heat of the moment”). Who has the “best relationship” with this
individual (child’s perspective). (They need to be involved.)

Annie Annie Annie is 17 years old and finishing her last year of high school. She comes from a family with three older sisters, all of whom are attending CEGEP or university. She has never done as well in school as her sisters, but Annie believes her parents have the same expectation that she will go on to CEGEP and university like her sisters.
![Page 31: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Annie works hard in school but school is becoming more of a challenge for her. She is thinking a lot these days about applying to CEGEP even though applications are not due for several months. She does not know where she wants to go or what program she wants to apply for.
![Page 32: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Some days, she worries she may not graduate from high school even though her grades are not low. She stays up late at night working on assignments. She only gets about 5 hour of sleep each night but drinks of a lot of caffeinated beverages to stay alert during the day. She has trouble concentrating, and lately her teachers have been warning her to pay closer attention in class.
![Page 33: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Annie likes art and music, but she does not think she has time to explore those interests because she is so focused on doing well in school. Her friends have stopped asking her to do things on the weekend because she always says no. Annie would rather remain home than go out. She used to work part time at a coffee shop, but she quit that job because she found it stressful to dealing with demanding customers.
![Page 34: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Last year, Annie started suffering from intense headaches. Lately, when Annie goes to do her homework, she gets dizzy and feels like a headache is coming on. Last week, she had to leave class suddenly during a test because she thought she was going to throw up. The guidance counselor at school wants to talk to her about what is going on, but Annie has avoided making an appointment with him.

DavidDavid
David is 12 years old and is in grade 6. He lives with his father and his older brother, Marcus, who is 16 and his older sister, Maria, who is 19. When David was 10, his mother died suddenly in a car accident.
![Page 37: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Since then, Marcus and Maria have helped take care of David because their father works long hours as a truck driver and he is not home very much. David much. David says that everyone is expected to “pull says that everyone is expected to “pull their weight” around the house and be their weight” around the house and be happy all of the time, even though life at happy all of the time, even though life at home has not been easy since his home has not been easy since his mother died. mother died.

David used to play soccer and baseball but now says that those sports are “boring”, so he quit the teams. At school, his teachers have noticed that David has gone from being a quiet and helpful student to someone who gets in a lot of fights at recess with his classmates.
![Page 39: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
David feels like people are always “hassling him” for no reason. Last week, he was suspended from school for punching a friend who teased him about his new haircut. He felt sorry about the incident afterward but he confessed to the principal that is having trouble controlling his temper.
![Page 40: McGill Education 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030119/58a065511a28ab06528b4d8d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Other times, David reports that when he get home from school, he will go into his room, shut the door, and cry for long periods of time. He does not know why he gets so sad or so mad but he feels very lonely. He misses his mom but does not want to upset his dad or siblings by talking about her. David is not sure the situation is going to get better, and he does not know where to go for help.

The StarfishThe Starfish
There was a young man walking down a deserted beach just before dawn. In the distance he saw a frail old man. As he approached the old man, he saw him picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. The young man gazed in wonder as the old man again and again threw the small starfish from the sand to the water. He asked, “Old man, why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time?”The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun.“But there must be thousands of beaches and millions of starfish!” exclaimed the young man. “How can you make a difference?” The old man looked down at the small starfish in his hand, and as he threw it to the safety of the sea, he said, “I make a difference to this one.”
