Shift the person / change attitude• Make them understand why they behave as
they do and why their behaviour is problematic so you change their attitude
• Needs a conversation with respect for all – listening is important
• Identify what is underlying the behaviour• Engage in ‘open talk’ – show interest in
understanding the person and why they behave as they do
