A child's sense of belonging is built through responsive relationships and supportive environments. Leading with equity and inclusion means asking the questions: Are the environments designed to promote the engagement of all learners? Do we build and nurture adult-child relationships equitably? If not, how might this contribute to child behaviors that challenge adults? Join us as we examine building a child's sense of belonging as an initial step to addressing challenging behaviors.
