Managing Challenging Behavior in Early Childhood Programs

Managing children with challenging behavior are often a challenge to early childhood educators.  Through this series, participants will explore challenging behavior, possible causes and strategies to prevent and respond to challenging behavior.  

Participants will:

• Examine the causes and triggers of challenging behavior.
• Analyze children’s behavior to determine needs for adaptation or changes in the environment, routine, or interactions.
• Identify strategies to respond to children with specific needs that affect behavior, such as sensory needs, auditory processing difficulties,  autism spectrum, or hyper-activity.
• Explore strategies for teaching children social and emotional skills.
• Identify resources to support the management of challenging behavior.
