An increasing number of children behave challenging in everyday life. This may manifest in various ways: They could be angry, sad, aggressive toward themselves or others, or withdraw from the group or their friends. The causes of that behavior are various and not always apparent at first. Often people jump to conclusions based on speculation. They try to explain such behaviors with obvious answers.

This is where the systemic perspective can help. Rather than viewing a person in isolation, it takes other vital factors into account: Backgrounds, interactions, and relationship structures. This understanding encourages and empowers you to view a child's behavior differently. Take the child's and it‘s environment's resources and characteristics into consideration. New approaches and individual recommendations for action prepare the ground to make a difference.
