I Did A Functional Behaviour Assessment of This Supernanny Case - Here's What I Found

What if a child’s aggression isn’t random - but part of a pattern the adults around them can accidentally keep going? In this video, I analyse Matthew’s behaviour from Supernanny using a Functional Behaviour Assessment lens. We look at what happens before the hitting, kicking and punching, what changes afterwards, and why the adult response around Matthew may be more important than the behaviour itself. This is not about blaming parents. It's about understanding why behaviour happens, so support can become clearer, calmer and more effective. You’ll see how bedtime demands, attention from Mum, adult inconsistency and crisis responses may all be shaping the pattern - and what a function-based Positive Behaviour Support plan would need to do differently. The biggest lesson isn't just how Matthew’s aggression reduced, it's what changed around him first. #Supernanny #PositiveBehaviourSupport #AppliedBehaviourAnalysis #Parenting #ChildBehaviour #FBA
