Prevention of Challenging Behavior Assignment 2
Prevention of Challenging Behavior.
One of peter’s behavior that is shown is angrily and rigidly refusing to work if at all he is given
tasks that he doesn’t like. This behavior is likely to be seen each time such tasks are assigned to
him whereby he shouts, try to leave the shop floor or hits and push the staff. This may lead to
quarrels and in worst case fights with his senior who could be at risk of getting a physical injury.
To eliminate such risk from happening, his seniors should know the tasks Peter does best and be
allocated them and other tasks be allocated to other workers who could be comfortable with
(Moore, 2014).
Again, Peter also often becomes very upset with fellow workmates if they aren’t doing their
work properly or not working harder as himself. This will lead to brushing shoulders between
him and other workers or even no communication. Physical injuries can also be an outcome since
at one point a staff member was hurt while trying to intervene. To mitigate such issues is that
Peter should work from a distant location from others while being educated on importance of
understanding abilities of each person as different (Budd & Colvin, 2008).
When Peter is reprimanded for his difficult behavior, he goes home thus creating lots of stress
for his parents who have to take him up and then stay home with him. This may lead to his
parents facing depression and other serious disorders triggered by stress. The best way to handle
this is through seeking guiding and counselling services from psychological experts to attempt to
ascertain the problem with Peter and provide long-lasting solution to this behavior (Dahir,
Burnham, & Carolyn, 2009).
