In summary, the data indicates that teachers deal with challenging behaviours on a daily basis. The intensity of the behaviour and the forms of behaviours vary but findings also indicate that teachers find it stressful to deal with challenging behaviours. A proportion of teachers (seven out of eight) reported feeling frustrated, exhausted, upset, helpless and sometime angry while dealing with challenging behaviours. Nevertheless, they considered themselves to be effective in dealing with it. The type of behaviours most frequently cited as challenging by all the eight teachers interviewed was disruption to lessons and attention seeking, although physical aggression (self-injury or deliberate act of hurting others) was found to be the most challenging. Another key finding that emerged from interviewing teachers was that engaging students and motivating them in learning was seen as a preventive strategy as four teachers expressed that if the students will be engaged then there are less chances of them involving themselves in challenging behaviours
