u see restrainment techniques way too often but never once in your life seen a child harness n leash being used ? dunno how likely that is but ill put that aside . i agree with u that sometimes restraining a child can be over the top and incite their triggers n meltdowns if theyre neurodivergent , that sounds pretty horrible actually , but so is letting them be a danger to themselves or others (my brother literally used to attack and bite us during his >.< ... ) a
nyway if u suspect kids u work with r actually getting hurt or are seriously uncomfortable w the amount of restraint they undergo then maybe as a social worker u should say something about that at ur workplace lol like i said, a child on a leash aren't a thing in the netherlands hence why it's difficult for me to comprehend why people would use one. of course is restraining necessary if the child is a danger to themselves/others, we had a kid on our group that hit himself whenever he had a meltdown, and we would hold his hands when he did so he didn't hurt himself.
