Understanding, Supporting and Responding to Challenging Behaviour

A professional development session for Early Childhood Educators and Teachers to understand, support and respond to challenging behaviours.

About the session:

This session will explore possible reasons for behaviours, taking into account developmental stages and individual differences.
It will explore ways for educators to be proactive in preventing behaviours from happening, ways for educators to engage with children and what educators can do to respond when big behaviours happen.
