What Is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) for Children?
Positive Behaviour Support is a proven way to help your child learn positive behaviours by understanding what’s behind their actions. Instead of focusing on punishment, PBS looks at the child’s environment, social interactions, communication style, and emotional needs.
It promotes better social interactions, helps children build communication skills, and supports consistency across home and school.
PBS works by:
- Addressing challenging behaviour safely and proactively
- Teaching practical life and communication skills
- Promoting independence and self-control
- Strengthening family relationships through teamwork
- Encouraging early intervention for long-term success
Whether your child has autism, ADHD, developmental delays, or no diagnosis at all, PBS is about addressing behavioural needs early, building confidence, and improving family life.
