A second purpose of this study was to examine whether sympathetic responding mediated the relationship between early prosocial behaviors and prosocial behaviors at a later age. Spontaneous sharing behaviors of young children were expected to be more predictive of prosocial behaviors and empathy-related

Summary: This chapter focuses on students with autism and students who have difficulty understanding and displaying appropriate behaviour as well as social interactions and skills. The text outlines using positive behaviour supports to help these students to become successful. This can be done using visual supports and social stories.

The prefrontal cortex is responsible for higher mental functions such as personality, attention, arousal, behaviour control etc., as well as being closely linked with structures involved in emotion and memory development (e.g. the amygdala). Damage to the PFC may disrupt normal behaviour functioning and cause some individuals to engage in negative, antisocial behaviours, or even have an extremely negative personality change.

When engaging in a discussion with a person where you want to express some kind of disagreement or criticism, I have learned that it can be difficult to not come across as blaming the other person or offending them.

CBT with children emphasizes the effects of maladaptive or dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes on current behavior. A presumption is made that a child’s reaction to an event is influenced by the meanings he or she attaches to the event. That is to say, emotional and behavioral responses to events in a person’s day-to-day life are a function of how these events are perceived and recalled, the attributions that are made about the causes of the event, and the ways in which the events affect one’s self-perceptions
