Some behaviour problems don’t start with defiance, disruption or poor emotional control. They actually start when pupils use relationships to humiliate or exclude another child in their friendship group.
In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, you’ll discover how Relational Aggression affects pupils in both primary and secondary schools, why it’s so easy for adults to miss and how it can drive anxiety, dysregulation and sudden changes in behaviour.
You’ll also find out how the PAIN Framework can help understand what’s really driving the behaviours of both the victim and the aggressor - and respond in a way that helps breaks the pattern in future.
