Session 1 – All Behavior is Communication!
Dare to radically change the way you view children’s behavior! By focusing on their unmet needs rather than changing behavior, transform the most difficult children into ideal students and classmates. Discover how easy it can be to shift from frustration and anger to compassion and laughter. Come and learn the art (and science) of lovingly redirecting children by meeting the needs driving misbehavior. This module includes simple and effective keys for converting annoying or disruptive behavior into a solid respect for oneself and others.
Session 2 – What to do when children are pushing your buttons!
This interactive workshop is packed with practical tools to teach infants, toddlers and young children self-control and emotional intelligence by modeling loving firmness. Based on cutting-edge brain research, learn how to replace negative motivators with positive reinforcements that build high self-esteem while generating cooperation. Participants will learn how to transform high-energy battles into fun-loving connections.
Session 3 - “Understanding Children’s Behavior”
Using Conscious Discipline principles, participants will learn information about child and brain development and how this knowledge will help them to understand
why children behave the way they do and how to work through power struggles. They will learn how to effectively guide children depending on what area of the brain the child and the adult are operating from.
Session 4 - “Setting Limits without the Guilt”
Using Conscious Discipline principles, participants will learn how to make a shift from disciplining with fear to love, the secret to being firm and fair, helping children be successful at school and home, empowering the adult and child, and how to build the child’s character through daily conflicts.
Who should attend? Child care providers and early childhood classroom teachers
