The environment a teacher creates, paired with her knowledge of the children in her care, can prevent many challenging behaviors in young children.

This session focuses on modifications teachers can make in six key areas of the environment that will prevent and reduce conflict that leads to challenging behaviors.

Connections Matter is a community-based initiative that emphasizes the profound impact of connections on brain growth and individual abilities to cope and thrive. It educates the public on the intersection of topics such as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), trauma, brain development, and resilience. The initiative aims to promote the building of more resilient, compassionate, and trauma-informed communities, allowing all children and individuals to succeed.

Why do some children come to depend on challenging behaviors while others discover better, more effective ways to get what they want? Generally, children use negative behavior when they lack the skills that would help them meet their needs. Teachers who take time to assess the reason for misbehavior are better able to teach children new social-emotional skills. This session focuses on the common reasons that children misbehave, a crucial first step in determining how to prevent/reduce challenging behaviors.

When a child uses challenging behaviors at school, parents and teachers need to work together to address the issue. However, when discussing behavior problems parents often feel blamed by the teachers and teachers often feel unsupported by the parents. This session focuses on developing strategies and skills to make these conversations more productive for everyone…especially the child! Participants will learn how to set the stage for and successfully conduct these difficult conversations with parents.
