Behaviour Management

Behaviour can be quite an emotive issue. We all have varying opinions about what we consider to be acceptable behaviour and this will depend largely on our own upbringing and background and the environment we find ourselves in when behaviour becomes an issue.

A holistic approach to managing behaviour is vital. If we continually respond to behaviour impulsively, similar behaviours are likely to occur and increase in both frequency and duration, and quickly inappropriate behaviour becomes the norm, as well as the expectation. It is good practice to reflect on incidents and ask if there is something that we could have done differently to prevent the incident from occurring or to make it less severe. Importantly, we should also ask ourselves, what we could do to make the outcome of the incident positive, for all involved.

Saturday 6th February: The Novotel London West Hammersmith International Centre came alive with the colours, parishes, towns and villages of Grenada, when close to five hundred nationals and friends gathered for a Grand Banquet and Dance to commemorate Grenada’s 36th Anniversary of Independence.

In his message, which was delivered by High Commissioner HE Ruth Elizabeth Rouse, the Prime Minister admonished Grenadians in the Diaspora to…”recommit themselves to building together, as one nation. This commitment, he said, must be anchored in a belief that we will achieve our dreams and aspirations as a people”.

The Event, which was hosted by five Grenadian Community Groups in the United Kingdom, honoured three Nonagenarians and Footballer Jason Roberts, MBE, who expressed his desire to continue mentoring the young people in Grenada through the Jason Roberts Foundation. Also in attendance was Grenadian-born member of the House of Lords, The Baroness Howells of St. Davids.
