Challenging behavior is one form of communication for some young children. In this training, we will look at the many ways that children communicate their wants and needs through challenging behaviors and how to help them build new skills that can replace challenging behaviors.
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the relationship between children’s social emotional development and challenging behaviors;
- Describe how challenging behavior serves a function for children;
- Identify strategies that can be used to (1) build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues; (2) design environments, schedules, and routines; (3) structure transitions; (4) help children learn rules and routines; and (5) plan activities that promote engagement.
