Our mission: To facilitate development of a nation-wide network of consistent, accessible, quality support for families, and to raise awareness amongst families and professionals around children/adolescents who use harmful and/or aggressive behaviour towards a parent/carer.

Today we're talking about HOW we describe these behaviours, the actions themselves and the words we use when talking about this area to both families and professionals. Aggression, abuse, violence, harmful... we discuss these and more! As an organisation we prefer to avoid using the word 'Abuse' even though this is typically a commonly used phrase, and we explain WHY this is.

This episode focusses on Education, which is a massive part of a child's life. Often issues experienced with children using aggressive behaviours can start with problems experienced at school. We discuss the typical school set up and how it might not work for all children, how it can cause issues and struggles for many students. We touch on how schools and parents can work in partnership with each other for a better result for the child.  You can find out more about us, what we do and get in touch via the links below: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Capafirstresponse.org⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ Our Vision: To stop harmful and/or aggressive behaviour in the home from a child or adolescent towards a parent or caregiver; For no parent or caregiver to feel alone in their experience  and for whole families to have access to the support they need to improve their family situation.

Today we tackle the subject of Neurodiversity in relation to 'child against parent aggression'. We discuss some of the common things that come up, including how hard it is for a neurodivergent person living in a neurotypical world. We talk about adapting strategies and finding out the root cause for behaviour and how the struggles can be even wider for someone who is neurodiverse.

In this episode we discuss the impact this behaviour can have on siblings both directly and indirectly. We talk about differences between children and expectations that they may deal with similar challenges in similar ways, and the problems this can cause when they don't. We also discuss labels and narratives within families, the impact new siblings can have, confirmation bias, the 'window of tolerance' and lots more.  You can find out more about us, what we do and get in touch via the links below: ⁠⁠Capafirstresponse.org⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠X/Twitter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠ Our Vision: To stop harmful and/or aggressive behaviour in the home from a child or adolescent towards a parent or caregiver; For no parent or caregiver to feel alone in their experience  and for whole families to have access to the support they need to improve their family situation.

In episode two we're talking about age. How does the age of a child influence how we think about their behaviour? Is there a peak age for behaviour to start, when does behaviour veer away from 'normal' child behaviour? We discuss the importance of early intervention, amongst other topics.
