During this seminar, caregivers will connect with the emotions and needs behind common challenging behaviors. With this understanding, caregivers will learn more about the influence of daily adult-child interactions and how these interactions can promote more positive behaviors in the classroom, instead of more challenging ones. Participants will learn concrete strategies that are easy to remember and to implement.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the importance and applicability of 4 core social and emotional components in reducing challenging behaviors.
