Managing Challenging Behavior in Children
The Managing Challenging Behavior in Children online workshop has been designed to provide child care and school-age child care professionals with a convenient, easy to access, and highly informative workshop. The focus of this workshop is to help participants better understand the behavior of children, and in particular, the disruptive and challenging behaviors that occur every day in child care, early childhood, and elementary classrooms.
Every teacher and child care professional has experienced a child that becomes distracted, gets off-task, and becomes engaged in inappropriate behavior. In fact, for most teachers, it happens daily. At times, this behavior escalates into a disruptive and challenging behavior that disturbs and unsettles a group of children or the entire classroom. To calm the situation, the teacher needs to determine what caused the behavior to happen, try to soothe the child, and quickly de-escalate the situation to prevent it from getting worse. This workshop focuses on helping child care, pre-school, and school-age child care professionals do just that.
This workshop intends to help all participants to become more knowledgeable, more confident, and better prepared for managing and responding to disruptive and challenging behaviors in children.
The workshop's primary objective is on increasing understanding and awareness about the nature of challenging behaviors in children, developmentally appropriate behavior, and the common causes associated with this type of behavior. Additionally, it reviews the various tactics and strategies that can be used for responding to and calming these behaviors, as well as strategies for reducing and preventing disruptive and challenging behaviors in toddlers, pre-school, and school-aged children.
The workshop is user-friendly, allowing the participant to complete the workshop at their own pace based on their home and work schedules. There is no time limit for completing the workshop, and a participant can take as many online work sessions as needed to finish the course.
