Publisher's summary

A new approach to solving behavioral challenges.

In Beyond Behaviors, internationally known pediatric psychologist Dr. Mona Delahooke describes behaviors as the tip of the iceberg, important signals that we should address by seeking to understand a child's individual differences in the context of relational safety.

This accessible book offers professionals, educators, and parents tools and techniques to reduce behavioral challenges and promote psychological resilience and satisfying, secure relationships.

Neuroscience-based effective tools and strategies for children labeled with: Conduct Disorder; Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD); Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD); Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD); Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD); Anxiety and Depression; and Autism and Developmental or Learning Differences.

And children who experience or have experienced: aggressive, confusing and unpredictable behaviors; tantrums and meltdowns; disconnection or shutdown; adverse childhood experiences; and trauma and toxic stress.

Great contents, computer assisted narrating?

Great book, however the reading appears to be or edited by a computer or computer assisted. Very unnatural performance.

A must read for anyone who works with children.

Whole Brain Child, Discipline with out Damage, No Drama Discipline- all books that have been wonderful and helpful. This book fills a gap and goes deeper into bottom up behaviors and where they come from. Anyone who works with children will benefit from this book. If you have been a struggling parent this is a game changer.

Must read

Absolutely one of the best books I have ever read on my quest for knowledge on how to help my child. This book provides insights into raising children with a present compassionate approach rather than the traditional authoritative consequence reaction.

Helpful

I found the book to be easily digestible while also quite technical.

One draw back of the audio version is the book includes worksheets that would be quite helpful to have physical copies of. However the information is all there so I still recommend the listen.

I will absolutely be referencing and listening back to applicable parts in the future.

Great for Clinicians, Parents, and Teachers!

This is a great resource for those who want to understand why children have the big feelings and behaviors that they do. I really appreciated the section about ACEs and it’s impact on children.

I would have LOVED access to the many worksheet explained in the audiobook. I wish there was a way to gain access to a PDF of the worksheets to use with clients.
