Avoid Challenging Behavior in Your Early Childhood Setting

PREVENT BEHAVIOR CHALLENGES BEFORE THEY DISRUPT THE CLASSROOM!

This two-hour course gives you solid, proven methods to prevent behavior challenges before they disrupt the classroom. It also shows you how to create a calmer, happier learning environment.

As a result of the self-regulation, calming and cooperative skills you’ve taught the children, they will have friendlier feelings toward you and each other. In this new, more positive environment, children will have added time to learn and will retain their natural love of learning.

Plus, you’ll be much less stressed and can rekindle your love of children and teaching!

Learning models include easy-to-implement sample activities and “Curriculum Connectors,” so you can understand and explain why the children aren’t “just playing.”
