Clips & Tips

Here’s an upstream approach to dealing with problem behaviours: back up from the behaviour (which is downstream) to see what is causing it. Three steps are described (empathy, define concerns, and invitation) to simplify problem-solving.

The first link is an interview that introduces this approach, the second is a collection of 2-minute videos (and more in the links on those pages), and the third link is a collection of resources to read.
