Responding to Persistent Challenging Behaviors in Preschool
Thursday, May 4th from 12:00 – 1:00pm

Challenging behaviors are often part of the typical development of young children. Preschool-age children are learning to regulate their behaviors and emotions, solve problems, and communicate with increasing independence. But they still need adult support, especially when feelings are intense. Persistent challenging behavior can interfere with a child’s ability to learn and build positive relationships with adults and peers. This webinar discusses ways to provide individualized positive behavior support to ensure a healthy learning environment for all.
This webinar is offered with English and Spanish captioning.
Key Topics
In this webinar, we’re discussing:

How to identify the function of challenging behavior
Ways to help children manage their actions, words, and behaviors with increasing independence
Adult responses that acknowledge child needs, prioritize prosocial interaction, and promote wellness

Target Audience

Teachers and family child care providers who interact daily with preschool children
Education managers, coaches, and child development specialists
