Description

This training examines the fundamental concepts and techniques in identifying challenging behaviors amongst children. We first examine the definition of supportive emotional and social behavior by naming specific healthy emotions, and specific social skills that promote stability in children’s behavior. We then analyze the root causes of challenging behaviors in different areas of development including emotional, social, and physical development, and how these behaviors can be detrimental to a child’s success and their development in all stages of life. Students will learn to identify these challenging behaviors through observation and by contacting and working with professionals with assessments. Class participants then apply strategies to prevent and reduce challenging behaviors and develop healthy social emotional intelligence in children with long term and short term goals.
