Amy Lew and Betty Lou Bettner’s contribution to Adlerian Psychology children need to have fostered by parents/caregivers and school personnel to be happy, emotionally successful, and well-grounded people, they developed a list of components: Courage, Connect, Capable, Count. Children need to have adults in their lives work to help them develop courage, learn to connect with others, recognize that they are capable, and know that they count.
‘Courage’ is incredibly important as it is the cornerstone of success ability to face fears, try new things, and persevere through challenging are more likely to take on new challenges, learn from their failures, and achieve success in their endeavors.
The second Crucial C emphasized in the TCCT is ‘capable.’ Being capable means having the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to succeed in different situations. It is crucial for children to build their capabilities and acquire new skills as they grow. As Lew and Bettner various challenges with greater ease.
‘Count’ is the third essential Crucial C. Count refers to the ability to demonstrate a strong work ethic, determination, and commitment
determination and commitment, children learn to forge ahead even when things get tough, which often translates to achieving success in
‘connection.’ Connection refers to the ability to establish and maintain relationships with others, regardless of their differences. A strong sense of connection helps children develop empathy, compassion, and respect for others, all of which are essential for success in school and beyond.
One of the sessions in the TCCT is committed to understanding the goals of misbehaviors. Misbehavior is commonly observed in children and can stem from various underlying causes. To effectively address and resolve these behaviors, it is important to understand the goals of misbehavior. According to psychologist and author Rudolf Dreikurs attention, power, revenge, and avoidance or proving inadequacy.
The goal of attention is one of the most common reasons why children misbehave. Children who act out to gain attention are often seeking a connection with others or a sense of validation. Such children may feel neglected or overlooked and thus resort to disruptive or inappropriate behaviors to grab the attention of those around them. Sometimes even negative attention is preferred over being ignored.
