Free WHAT A CHILD’S BEHAVIOUR IS REALLY TELLING YOU POSTER

This poster puts into words what many adults feel but struggle to explain.

When a child shouts, refuses, withdraws, lashes out or melts down, it is easy to see behaviour as bad, defiant or attention seeking. This poster clearly shows that behaviour is communication. It helps adults stop reacting to what they see and start thinking about what the child is trying to tell them.

The poster explains how challenging behaviour is often linked to unmet needs such as feeling overwhelmed, unsafe, tired, hungry, anxious, overstimulated or in need of connection. It supports a trauma informed, needs led way of responding that focuses on understanding rather than punishment.

This resource is especially helpful for children who struggle with emotional regulation, big feelings, anxiety, sensory overload, attachment needs or trauma related stress. It helps adults understand what is happening in a child’s nervous system when they are under pressure.

Comment CHILD and we will send you a message with a link to a free PDF of this resource.

Welcome

Hello, my name is Tina Lashley and I want to thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My clients come to me because they are tired of feeling as though life is against them. I believe that internal strengths come from overcoming things we once thought we couldn't. Together we can work towards developing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

My training and experience include working with clients that have experienced trauma, abuse or neglect, domestic violence, sexual abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition to trauma, I have experience in working with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and family transitions/changes such as divorce.

I offer telehealth, telephone and face to face counseling services for individual, couples and families who are struggling with circumstances or looking to improve their overall wellness. I am also a Certified Play Therapist that specializes in working with children ages 3-10. Evening and weekend appointments are available to accommodate busy schedules. Contact me to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation to learn more about me, what I do, and if we are a good match.
