Unit 27- P1 describe the characteristics and causes of challenging behaviour
Introduction: In P1, I am going to choose 6 challenging behaviours to describe their characteristics and what cause the six challenging behaviour takes place. Also, I will give examples for each. These are six challenging behaviours: * Physical pain * Disability * Aggressive * Verbal abuse * Physical abuse * Discrimination
Physical pain: People who have physical pain, they will present aggressive, they will shout at people who around them and throw stuff away. Factors that could cause this is because they feel really pain and uncomfortable. They just want to find a way to release their pain. For example, a woman who has lumbar disc herniation, she got housework to do, however, no one help her. Therefore, when it onset, she starts to angry with other people.
Disability: Normally, people who are disability, they are non-confidence and low self-esteem because they are suffering lots of ridicule and bullying, and they view themselves differently. When they are unable to resist these, they will get angry as well as angry with others such as family. Also, they will feel they are not useful, especially when they cannot do some simple things for themselves independent such as dressing themselves. On the other hand, they are unable to do something they like such as kicking football. Due to these reasons, they may sensitive to what other people say to them and they may self- harm.
Aggressive behaviour: aggressive behaviour could be in both positive way and negative way because some people do aggressive behaviour to stand up for themselves which are protect their right. For example, pushing. Two children are playing a toy car together, however, one child always takes the toy car away without asking for permission. Another child pushes the child and take back the toy car.
