Child Behaviour Course This Child Behaviour Course covers the theory behind why children behave the way they do, and looks at events and triggers that can create behaviour patterns in children. The course is over 9 modules and will build your knowledge to enable you to identify and deal with different behaviours. You will learn about how well-being, self-esteem and emotional intelligence can affect a child’s temperament, attachment and self-control. You will also learn about the relationship between psychological disabilities and aggression and violence, including bullying and how to manage challenging behaviour, like conduct disorder (CD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).
