De-escalating Challenging Behaviors in Young Children

This training first reviews the basics of social/emotional development and the meaning of challenging behaviors. Self-reflection activities around handling challenging behaviors, identifying personal “hot buttons,” creating a plan for when behaviors escalate, as well as suggestions for post conversations with other children who were witness to the challenging episode are the core of this training. This training concludes with participants having an opportunity to discuss personal experiences with challenging behaviors and develop individualized strategies to best support positive outcomes.
