This study explored the phenomenon of children's nonconforming behaviours from the perspective of parents who sought clinical services for children's severe noncompliance.
Mothers from 25 families who accessed clinical services were interviewed about their relationship with their children aged 8-13 and their experiences of their children's challenging behaviours.
Mothers distinguished two different types of challenging behaviour: normative resistance and extreme aggression. Mothers described normative resistance as an expected part of children's developing autonomy and treated resistance with behavioural management strategies. Mothers also described occasions when children displayed emotionally dis-regulated extreme aggression, which were consistent with clinical descriptions of children's difficult to manage behaviour.
Contrary to clinical recommendations mothers used relational strategies to reconnect children with their agency. The distinction between two different child behaviours, and strategies for each challenging behaviours have theoretical and practical implications.
本研究从为孩子严重不服从行为寻求临床服务的家长视角，探讨儿童不服从行为现象。
对25个接受临床服务家庭的母亲进行访谈，了解她们与8至13岁孩子的关系以及孩子具有挑战性的行为经历。
母亲们区分出两种不同类型的具有挑战性的行为：正常抵抗和极端攻击性行为。母亲们将正常抵抗描述为儿童发展自主性的预期部分，并采用行为管理策略来应对抵抗。母亲们还描述了孩子表现出情绪失控的极端攻击性行为的情况，这与临床对儿童难以管理行为的描述一致。
与临床建议相反，母亲们使用关系策略来让孩子重新找回自身的能动性。两种不同儿童行为之间的区别以及针对每种具有挑战性的行为的策略具有理论和实践意义。
