The Challenging Behavior training provides educators with a deeper understanding of why challenging behaviors occur and how to respond in supportive, developmentally appropriate ways. Participants will explore factors that influence behavior, including environment, development, communication, and emotional regulation. This training emphasizes prevention, observation, and consistent response strategies that support children while maintaining a safe and supportive classroom environment. Educators will learn how to identify patterns, respond effectively in the moment, and implement strategies that reduce escalation and promote positive behavior over time. This course is appropriate for early childhood professionals working with children who display challenging behaviors and seeking practical strategies to support behavior while maintaining strong relationships.
