Supportive Behaviour Management
Children are not things to be moulded, they are people to be unfolded
Welcome to the Supportive Behaviour Management networking site. This is a place where like-minded people can get together and share ideas about supporting and working with challenging children within the school environment, at home or in care.
SBM as a program helps to build an emotionally intelligent approached to managing some of the challenging behaviours that some children exhibit. It works on the basis that all children will make mistakes and that as adults, we should look at this not as a negative experience that as a positive opportunity to build new skills and neural connections.
'We should not see all negative behaviours as all of the problem, sometimes they are part of the message' so we should be looking for the underlying issues that may be causing pieces of unwanted behaviour. Tied in with this is the statement 'behaviour is a reflection on emotional state' so those children who clearly are not managing their emotions very well will frequently exhibit unwanted and perhaps antisocial behaviours.

The statistics have alarmed the politicians and a countywide review is currently taking place. This is likely to be very much data driven and will take some considerable time to complete.
From the published data, there are some very interesting headlines

The Howard League for Penal Reform has published a new report developed by young people in the criminal justice system which reveals how punitive responses to youth crime are failing, as evidenced by the highest reoffending rates of any age group, with almost three quarters of under 18s going on to reoffend after leaving prison.
It's not really surprising that so many disenfranchised young people…
