Ever noticed your child scream suddenly?
Or throwing objects when upset?
Or hit and pull hair when something doesn’t go their way?
These behaviours can look challenging — but for many children, they are communication tools when words, emotions, or sensory needs feel too big to handle.
Children may scream, hit, throw, or pull hair when:
💬 They can’t express their needs or feelings
When communication is hard, behaviour becomes their language.
🧠 They feel overwhelmed or overstimulated
Too much noise, too many people, or unexpected changes can trigger a strong reaction.
😣 They’re trying to escape a difficult task
If something feels confusing, tiring, or scary, behaviour becomes a way to avoid it.
🤝 They want attention or connection
Even “negative behaviour” can be a child’s way of saying,
“Please notice me. I need help.”
❤️ They’re struggling to regulate emotions
Kids are still learning how to manage anger, frustration, disappointment, and waiting.
In therapy, we don’t look at the behaviour alone —
we look at the reason behind it.
ABA helps by:
✔ Understanding what the behaviour is communicating
✔ Teaching the child safe, functional ways to express needs
✔ Reducing triggers like sensory overload or confusion
✔ Building language, emotional regulation, and coping skills
✔ Helping children stay calm, follow routines, and handle change
✔ Coaching parents with simple, effective home strategies
Your child isn’t “being naughty.”
Your child is trying to cope — the only way they know how.
With the right support, they learn to replace challenging behaviours with communication, confidence, and emotional control.
