1. All Behavior Is a Form of Communication
In this chapter, challenging behavior is defined. Challenging behavior can have an impact on the child’s general health and well-being. Children with cognitive impairments or speech deficits often use challenging behaviors to express their needs. It is common for children who display negative behaviors to receive personal attention. The pediatric home care nurse must endeavor to understand this form of communication to offer and implement successful interventions that minimize the behaviors and meet the needs of the child.
2. A Parent’s Perspective
This chapter presents an interview of a father who is a trauma nurse and an adoptive father of several children with special health care needs who also have behavioral disorders. At the time of adoption, he was unaware that several of the children had behavior disorders in addition to significant medical needs. His perspective for successful management of challenging behaviors is highlighted.
