Understanding Behaviour in School Age Children

Suitable for all early learning professionals and parents.

Presenter: Cris Janicas

This workshop looks at understanding the challenging behaviours of children. Shifting our perspective to what is being communicated through challenging behaviour allows us to embrace more positive and pro-active strategies in addressing it.

Perfect for centres with children expressing challenging behaviours, returning to care after an extended break due to the pandemic, and school-age centres as children readjust to school and their new normal. This workshop focuses on school-aged children but can be applied to children of all ages.
