Managing Challenging Behaviour

All behaviour is communication and feelings drive behaviours. This webinar will outline ways in which we can respond to the behaviour, rather than react. It will discuss how to build consistent boundaries and give a feeling of safety and trust, so the children can thrive in the classroom environment. There will be discussion on Gary Landreth’s A.C.T Model to help to deal with big feelings and Dr. Dan Siegel’s “Name it to Tame it”. It will give ideas for supporting regulation, so you can establish a safe learning environment that will help all of the children flourish.

Learning Outcomes - 

Participants will acquire knowledge on how the brain works and how we can help children to manage big feelings
Become aware of the importance of coregulation and how sharing our calm can help children to manage big feelings
Become aware of how important regulation is, in the classroom environment and learn new ways of supporting regulation for children.
