Author Description

This book offers an explanation of the seemingly inexplicable and sometimes aggressive behaviour of impulsive children and young people. It provides information on brain alterations that inhibit impulse regulation, and practical guidance on how to model new patterns of behaviour in the school, the home and other settings, to enable young people to communicate in more positive and healthy ways over time. Aimed at teachers, social workers, foster carers, residential keyworkers, youth workers and all those who want to improve their skills and improve the lives of the children and young people they work with.
