DQ - CH3 - The Connected Child

Discussion Questions

1. Dr. Purvis calls us to respect the neurological impairments that drive disruptive and maladaptive behavior. Give an example of a situation that could have been frustrating had you not understood and respected the struggles behind the behavior.

2. Did you find anything from Table 3.1 on pages 36 and 37 particularly helpful?

3. Share about a child you know whose behavior was (or is) mysterious, heartbreaking, or threatening. (As Dr. Purvis shares, this is common from a child who has been harmed.)
