http://www.parentspartner.com Helping parents create the optimal environment for their child to reach his or her potential Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:12:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 http://www.parentspartner.com/blog/test.html http://www.parentspartner.com/blog/test.html#comments Sat, 28 Mar 2009 07:02:24 +0000 admin http://www.parentspartner.com/?p=586 A fortnight ago the government hosted a ‘think tank’ on children’s behaviour and, in my capacity as a family therapist, I was invited to attend and contribute.  While I could not go, because of prior commitments, I was challenged by the significance of my invitation: I work mostly with pre-schoolers.  Why is this significant? Because Pre-schoolers are now displaying violent, antisocial and at times criminal behaviour, just as high school and increasingly, primary school students are.  This is scary stuff!  It’s time society sat back and thought about what might be causing this huge increase in undesirable behaviour. I have my own ideas as to the causes – I’d like to hear yours.
