INTERVIEW – HOW TO DEAL WITH CHILDREN/ADULT CHILDREN WHO HAVE UNCONTROLLABLE

BEHAVIOUR MAINLY DUE TO SUBSTANCE.

 UNCONTROLLABLE BEHAVIOUR IN CHILDREN CAN STEM FROM VARIOUS FACTORS,
INCLUDING DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES, UNDERLYING CONDITIONS, OR ENVIRONMENTAL
INFLUENCES. IT'S CRUCIAL TO UNDERSTAND THE ROOT CAUSE TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS
THE BEHAVIOUR.
 ADULT CHILDREN WHO ARE ACTING OUT OR ENGAGING IN UNHEALTHY BEHAVIOURS
CAN BE A SOURCE OF STRESS AND FRUSTRATION FOR PARENTS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT WHILE YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR ADULT CHILD'S CHOICES, YOU CAN
CONTROL YOUR OWN REACTIONS AND BOUNDARIES.
