Todos los niños tienen comportamients desafiantes en un momento u otro y hay varios factores que pueden causar esa conducta, sin embargo, sabemos que el comportamiento es una forma de comunicacion y es importante saber lo que causa que el niña/o sea etiquetado, despreciado y en ocasiones, suspendido o incluso expulsado por estos comportamientos. Sin embargo, algunos de esos comportamientos pueden ocultar un problema mayor.
Nuestra presentación se centrará en lo que hay detrás de esas conductas extremas; exploraremos como el trauma (pobreza, violencia doméstica, abuso infantil, enfermedades mentales, inmigración) afecta el desarrollo de los niños, pero particularmente el desarrollo socio-emocional, lo que causa comportamientos negativos y reacciones sensoriales. Nuestra intención no es solo capacitar a los profesores a analizar estos comportamientos desde una perspectiva diferente sino tambien compartir estrategias para proporcionar un entorno inclusivo que apoye a esos niños que está teniendo dificultades en el aula y que se sientan seguros y aceptados.
