Breaking the Cycle: Children with Behaviour Problems

Synopsis

Features a group of disruptive children during a ten-day programme - involving parents - structured over ten weeks at Marlborough House Day Unit, Swindon (funded by the National Health; and one of only a handful of such centres in Europe). It follows Dean and Joe (whose mother is a teacher). Shows their remarkable and moving transformation into calmer, happier, more confident individuals. How this is achieved. Its profound effect on their parents (one mother stops taking anti-depressants because of her child’s improvement). And the marked change in the group. ‘Behaviour problems’ is an umbrella term for diverse but often related causes making children unable to behave in a disciplined way. The resulting lack of self-esteem and disruptive behaviour all too frequently leads to bullying, nursery and school exclusion, drugs, juvenile crime and imprisonment. Also the rapidly growing but controversial use of Ritalin.
