As a carer, try to understand why the person you look after is behaving in this way. If you can recognise the early warning signs, you may be able to prevent behavioural outbursts. Some people find a distraction can focus a person's energies elsewhere and prevent them displaying challenging behaviour. The person you care for might behave in a challenging way to get your attention. If this is the case, consider not responding directly to their behaviour – although you should not ignore them completely. But if their behaviour puts them or someone else at risk, you'll need to intervene as calmly as possible. If you're finding it hard to cope with the behaviour of the person you look after, ask a GP to refer you to a specialist.
