Course Philosophy and Aims:
The 3-day RAID course for parenting is a comprehensive approach which – because most people are competent when things are running smoothly – unashamedly majors in working with difficult behaviour. It teaches a philosophy not
only to deal with such behaviour when it occurs,
but also to prevent it by tackling it at source. We
aim for professionals to feel pleased to know where they are going and what they are doing, and for children to delight in a relentlessly positive and empowering approach.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
What the course covers:
• An overview of the RAID approach: the philosophy.
• How to reinforce. Why do some 'reinforcers'
fail to reinforce? When a person says they
have 'tried everything' with a child, what powerful category of reinforcers have they
often failed to try?
• How some people actually discourage behaviour when they think they are reinforcing it.
• Why do most people place too much emphasis on 'consistency'?
• Asking 'green' questions not 'red' ones. What is wrong with this question: What should we
do when 10 year old John can't sleep at night and so comes out of his room and starts
smashing things up and assaults those who try to stop him?' What question should we ask?
• What is meant by 'invisible appropriate behaviour'? How do we recognise this and, by
doing so, counter extreme behaviour?
• Defining behaviour that is contradictory to the child’s extreme behaviour and working to
develop that.
• Why working on an individual's problems may result in exaggerating these problems, and
what we do instead.
• What are 'Higher-Order' personality characteristics and how should we reinforce them?
• Why is this statement probably untrue and how should we capitalise on the real truth of
the situation: 'We find that whenever Sue harms herself she's had an argument with her
boyfriend just before; every time they have an argument, she harms herself.'?
• More PAID than RAID. Some people exhibit very little appropriate behaviour; what
should we do then?
• What is Constructive Criticism - how is it different from standard criticism, and why do
people respond differently to it?
• Rules and 'boundaries' are important, vital even – so why are they such a cause of
conflict? How do we utilise them constructively, positively, to the benefit of the children
we care for, and those around them?
• Punishment and Sanctions. Even the most powerful positive approach to extreme
behaviour needs to make sense of these.
• Addressing Issues. When to and how to.
• Feedback. What it is and how to utilise its power.
• Deeply RAIDing. Those we work with can tell whether we are genuine in what we do, or
whether it's simply a 'technique'.
• Why proper consideration of the person's future is vital in almost every case. How to do
it effectively.
And more.
