Disconnected Kids
High Risk Behaviours of Young People With Weak Bonds to Adults
The First Stage of RAP - Connecting
The human brain has programs that motivate us to connect to others.
Young people connect to adults and peers who meet their needs.
Trust
Respect
Understanding
Empowerment
The Private Logic of Adult Wary Kids – Barriers to Connection
FIGHT – HURT OR BE HURT
Threat display: I am dangerousPower display: I am the bossPay back: I’ll make them suffer
FLIGHT: HIDE OR BE HURT
Isolate: Shut out peopleRetreat: Shut out the painEscape: I can’t take any more
FOOL: OUTSMART THEM
Deceiving: Charm and disarmDiversion: Act dumb and crazyMind games: Insult and provoke
FOLLOW: BAND TOGETHER
Peer power: Follow friendsAlpha Power: Follow the leaderContagion: Follow the crowd
Bidding To Connect
We need to recognise when kids make bids to connect with us.
The Second Stage of RAP - Clear Thinking
From Risk to Resilience
Challenge Logic Emotions Actions Results
Challenge What event triggered the stress?
Logic What thoughts came to mind?
Emotions What feelings triggered action?
Actions What coping strategy was used?
Results What consequences followed?
BAMMS Thinking Errors
BlamingOthers always try to start fights with me.
I’m worthless and don’t deserve to live.
Assuming the WorstYou can’t trust anybody – they always lie to you.
No matter how hard I try, I always fail.
Minimising and MislabelingEveryone does it so what’s the big deal?
So I slapped her around – she’s just a ho!
Self-centredIf I see something I like, it’s mine.
Why should I care? I take care of myself.
Rescripting is a Key
Scripts are terms or phrases designed to influence thinking. Done well, they have the power to alter private logic.
A Sample Belonging Script
It’s great to have you here.
A Sample Mastery Script
A great kid like you – I know you’re going to be able to handle it.
A Sample Independence Script
Seems to me you’re a person who likes to think for themselves.
A Sample Generosity Script
Thank you for helping out.
