IN PERSON: Beyond Praise: Feedback that Fuels Growth

Challenging behaviors in early childhood classrooms—such as aggression, defiance, withdrawal, or tantrums—can disrupt learning and strain teacher-child relationships. These behaviors are often expressions of unmet needs, developmental delays, or stress. This professional development training empowers educators with practical, compassionate strategies to prevent and manage challenging behaviors. Teachers will learn to respond with consistency, empathy, and intention while promoting social-emotional learning, regulation, and a positive classroom climate.
