Description

When children exhibit challenging behaviors, traditional discipline methods often focus entirely on the surface actions, completely missing the underlying neurological triggers. In Beyond Behaviours, world-renowned child psychologist Dr. Mona Delahooke delivers a thorough, results-driven roadmap that transforms how parents, teachers, and clinicians support struggling children.

Dr. Delahooke looks deeply into brain science, utilizing polyvagal theory to explain how a child’s nervous system responses dictate their actions. Written with exceptional clarity and direct, functional prose, the text provides easy-to-use digital-ready templates, scannable behavioral worksheets, and practical exercises that focus on safety and emotional regulation over punishment. It stands out as an inspiring, comforting, and highly functional tool designed to save preparation time for educators and reduce emotional stress for families.

Why this child psychology guide is an essential resource:

• Brain Science Made Practical: Strips away overly dense clinical jargon to deliver direct, actionable parenting tools based on neurodevelopment.

• Individualized Support Tracks: Helps adults accurately identify whether a behavior is a top-down conscious choice or a bottom-up stress response.
