Duration: 2-3 hours

Dealing with challenging behavior in preschool children can be a daunting task. Before we can address challenging behavior, it is necessary to look at the classroom environment and what coping strategies are needed.

Children's behaviours communicate their needs, if they are exhibiting challenging behaviours, it can mean that their needs are not being met. This interactive workshop identifies strategies that ELCC educators can apply to interpret children’s behaviours and understand what they may be communicating about their classroom environment. Participants will explore ways to adapt classroom environments and revise practices to lessen challenging behaviours.
