(e.g., within a childcare setting, early childhood centre or school, primary or secondary school, disability support services, or youth services). This can dramatically change the climate of these settings a considerable amount of time and energy can be spent on the child showing the defiant behaviour, which can have a deleterious effect on the quality of the learning experience for all the children. Supporting a defiant child leaves adults feeling defeated, exhausted, and unsure about what to do next.
