ReframingBehaviorIS IT THIS?

❑ Anger management problems

❑ Willful, naughty, uncontrollable

❑ Manipulative

❑ Purposefully ‘pushing buttons’

❑ In need of punitive consequences to

motivate better behaviorOR THIS?

❑ Emotionally dysregulated

❑ Scared

❑ In perpetual flight, fight, or freeze mode

❑ Using adaptive coping patterns

❑ Seeking to get needs met the only way he or she knows how

❑ Lacking positive coping and self-regulation skills

Protective Factors and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) can mitigate the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences.
