What is Challenging Behaviour?
Challenging behaviour is any form of behaviour that interferes with children's learning or normal development; is harmful to the child, other children or adults; or puts a child in a high risk category for later social problems or school failure.
In a school setting, challenging behaviour is acknowledged to be any form of behaviour that causes concern to teachers. It can range from talking in class and not settling to work, to verbal and physical abuse, destruction of property and bullying. (1989 Elton report). However, the most commonly cited forms of misbehaviour are:
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Arriving late for lessons | Not listening to the teacher | Excessive talking | Being noisy - verbally and non-verbally |
 |
 |
 |
|
| Not getting on with work | Being out of seats without reason | Preventing others from being able to work. |
Managing challenging behaviour in a classroom setting is a problem faced by all teachers.
One of the key factors in behaviour management is understanding why challenging behaviour occurs.
