Managing Challenging Behaviors

This workshop explores challenging childhood behaviors and asks participants to rethink "challenging kids" and instead look at skill building opportunities that will help children access what they need. Participants will evaluate effective techniques to listen to children experiencing distress and create an environment that engages children and supports positive behavior.
