TEDx Nantymoel Talk
“Why are so many school aged children struggling to attend school? What is going on behind the behaviours? In this talk, Behaviour, Emotional Health and Wellbeing Specialist Rob Jones sheds light on some of the functions behind the behaviour and broadens the understanding of what is known as Emotionally Based School Avoidance. Moving from what we see as being typical behaviour for school aged children to what some homes are experiencing behind closed doors, explaining what the functions are behind the behaviours to looking at what could be happening within the brains, and looking how we can reconsider our language and supporting structures around them, moving towards a child-centred, needs-led approach.”
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organised by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
