95: Understanding What's Behind Misbehaviours

I share a useful theory of behaviour motivation in order to understand the hidden causes driving misbehaviours.

Show Notes

Most humans seek belonging and hence social behaviour is often purposeful. 
Misbehaviour then results from a mistaken assumption of fulfiling that need. 
Basic drives are for attention, power, revenge and a sense of helplessness. 
We must look beyond the external behaviours and into hidden causes in order to redirect misbehaviours. 

What is EVERY YOUTH MATTERS With Dr. John Tan?

Hello and Welcome to “Every Youth Matters”. I’m Dr John Tan. For the past 30 years, I’ve been helping youths realize their life potential. In recent years, though, I’ve helped parents, teachers, counsellors and youth workers engage their teenagers and youths. In this podcast I will share tips, tools and ways to reach what may be that difficult or challenging youth who just would not respond to your best intentions or actions. What can we do to reach and win their hearts? I believe that a youth’s potential is too precious a gift to waste. So join me in this journey, for every youth matters!
