Reconnect Respect Programme
Supporting Children and Families Towards Positive Change
When a child displays abusive or violent behaviours at home, it can create a stressful and challenging environment for the entire family. The Reconnect Respect Programme is designed to support children aged 8 to 16 years old who exhibit these behaviours, while also offering essential guidance to parents and carers. Our goal is to support positive behaviour change in children, rebuild family relationships, and create a more harmonious home life.
Understanding Behaviour Change in Children
Children may display anger, aggression, or abusive behaviours due to a variety of reasons, including past experiences, emotional distress, or learned behaviours. Our programme does not place blame but rather seeks to understand the root causes and work towards practical solutions. By identifying negative behaviour patterns early, we help families make sustainable changes that benefit both children and parents.
Tailored Support for Children and Parents
The Reconnect Respect Programme is structured yet flexible, offering weekly sessions that run for approximately three months. Our sessions are designed to be engaging and insightful, using varied tools and techniques to support behaviour change.
What Our Programme Includes:
- Whole Family Sessions – Strengthening family dynamics and helping to open communication.
- One-on-One Support for Parents/Carers – Equipping them with strategies to manage and support their child’s behaviour.
- Individual Sessions with the Young Person – Encouraging self-reflection and the development of healthier responses to emotions and conflict.
- Practical Solutions – Simple, effective techniques to create lasting positive change at home.
Addressing Domestic Abuse and Anger in Children
Children who show abusive or violent behaviours at home often require structured intervention. The Reconnect Respect Programme helps families recognise the early signs of domestic abuse in children’s behaviour and work towards constructive changes before these behaviours escalate.
By supporting children and parents together, we create an environment where everyone feels heard and empowered to make changes. Our approach ensures that the child understands the impact of their actions while providing parents with practical guidance on how to respond effectively.
How the Reconnect Respect Programme Makes a Difference
Families who engage with our programme often report:
- Improved family relationships and communication.
- Reduction in aggressive and abusive behaviours in children.
- Greater confidence for parents/carers in managing challenging situations.
- Long-term positive behaviour change for young people.
We believe that early intervention and structured support are key to helping children and families overcome challenges.
