Behaviour Management
Challenging behaviours from your children can create stress for families, making it difficult to enjoy daily life. At STARS Behaviour Services, we understand this problem completely and are here to help. Our Behaviour Management Consultations empower parents and caregivers with effective behaviour management strategies, and support needed to create a more harmonious home environment with their children aged five to eighteen years.
Challenging behaviour often arises because your child has not yet developed the social and emotional skills necessary to know what is an acceptable behaviour. Whether your child is experiencing frequent tantrums, defiance, or difficulty following routines, our tailored approach and effective strategies provides solutions that work for your family’s unique needs.
What is Behaviour Management Consultation?
Behaviour Management Consultations are one-on-one sessions with a trained professional designed to address specific behavioural problems. These consultations focus on understanding the root causes of the behaviour and developing behaviour management strategies to replace them with positive actions and desired behaviour.
With our effective behaviour management strategies, our goal is to empower you with practical, evidence-based tools that make a meaningful difference in your daily life and your children's behaviour and create positive relationships within the family.
Who Can Benefit from Behaviour Management Consultations?
This service is ideal for:
- Parents and caregivers seeking guidance on managing particular situations and challenging behaviours of their young children.
- Families looking to reduce conflict, effectively manage their children's behaviour and promote good behaviour and positive interactions.
- Children struggling with tantrums, aggression, noncompliance, mental health problems or other behaviours that disrupt daily routines.
- Caregivers aiming to learn specific strategies to improve children's behaviour effectively.
What Are Common Challenges We Help Address in Our Behaviour Management Consultations?
Our Behaviour Management Consultations are designed to address a variety of challenges and challenging behaviour that can arise at home, in school, or during daily routines. We work with our children network, their families and other caregivers to develop strategies for:
Accordion 1
Helping children, particularly in early childhood, manage their own emotions and reduce outbursts through positive coping techniques. We teach young children appropriate ways to express frustration, reducing the need for negative attention and minimising the negative impact of tantrums on family life.
Defiance & Non-Compliance
Encouraging cooperation and building routines to minimise power struggles or antisocial behaviour. Using a positive approach, we establish clear rules and implement immediate consequences to reinforce positive relationships and minimise negative behaviour without invalidating the child's feelings.
Aggressive Behaviours
Addressing hitting, biting and other harmful actions or tendencies of physical abuse common to school age children with safe, constructive alternatives. We teach children appropriate ways and acceptable behaviour to express frustration and encourage self-regulation. Our approach helps children learn how to behave appropriately, have self control and learn skills on addressing their emotions calmly and constructively, without resorting to aggression.
Difficulty Following Instructions
Teaching children strategies to improve listening skills and task completion, especially for older children, who may be struggling with attention or motivation. We focus on problem-solving techniques that help children follow through on tasks, using a calm voice to guide them effectively.
Sibling Conflicts
Resolving disputes and promoting positive interactions between siblings. We encourage children to build positive relationships and help them solve problems by using positive approaches to sharing, turn-taking, and respecting each other's space.
Transitions and Changes
Helping children adapt to new routines, environments, or life changes with ease. If your children feel overwhelmed by transitions, we provide emotional support and teach coping strategies to ease these adjustments. Whether transitioning to school or welcoming a new sibling, we support both children and parents through these changes.
Social Challenges
Supporting children who struggle with social skills such as sharing, turn-taking, or understanding boundaries. We provide guidance for parents on how to encourage self esteem and positive interactions with other children and foster the child's learning and development of healthy social skills. Our strategies help children improve their social interactions while building their self-regulation and emotional resilience.
Time-Outs
If needed, we introduce time-out strategies as part of a broader behavioural plan. We teach parents how to use this tool effectively, ensuring it is done in a way that is supportive and not punitive. The main goal of 'time out' is to give the child a chance to calm down and reflect on their behavior. Time-out involves placing a child in a quiet, safe place free from toys, screen time, games, or positive attention from parents for a very short period of time. Often times, after a period of 'time out', the child learn to return to the situation with a better understanding of their actions.
Our consultations are personalised to meet your child’s unique needs and family dynamics. We utilise evidence-based techniques to empower you with effective tools for managing your child's behavior. Whether you're dealing with negative discipline or seeking to build stronger parent-child relationships, we provide strategies that foster emotional growth and encourage positive behaviour. By addressing both immediate and long-term challenges, we help create a more peaceful, positive environment for your family.

Our Approach to Behaviour Management Consultations
Our consultations are personalised to meet your specific goals. Here’s how we work with you:
Understanding Your Challenges
We begin by listening to your concerns. Through discussions and assessments, we identify the children's behaviour causing difficulties and explore their potential triggers. We also take into account your child's developmental stage, as this can significantly influence their reactions and responses.
Creating a Tailored Plan
Every child and family is unique. That’s why we develop a customised behaviour management plan that aligns with your goals, values, and routines. We focus on creating strategies that are suitable for younger children, as well as those that can be adapted as your child grows and develops.
Teaching Practical Strategies
You’ll receive step-by-step guidance on evidence-based techniques, including:
- Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging positive behaviour by rewarding desired actions with positive attention or incentives.
- Proactive Strategies: Identifying and addressing triggers to prevent challenging behaviours before they happen.
- Consistent Routines: Establishing predictable daily schedules to provide structure and security for your child.
- Clear Expectations: Setting boundaries that are easy for your child to understand and follow.
These strategies are practical, effective, and adaptable to your family’s unique situation. We also encourage parents to stay engaged and consistent with the techniques, as consistency is key to supporting mental health and positive behaviour development in children.
By focusing on the child's developmental stage and using these tools, we help you create a nurturing environment that fosters positive behaviour and emotional well-being for your child.
Supporting Long-Term Success
Changing challenging behaviour takes time, and we’re here to support you throughout the process. We provide follow-up consultations, adjustments to your plan, and ongoing encouragement to ensure lasting results.
