What are Children’s Behaviours Telling Us?
with expert panelists: Barbara Kaiser, educator & author; Elizabeth Jeffery, educator & Conscious Disipline facilitator; Dr. Katherine Bigsby, pediatrician; Michelle Moffat, SLP
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
For every child that passes through a child care program's doors, there are as many individual personalities and multiple influencing factors. In this plenary session, a panel of experts will offer some definition to the term 'challenging behaviour', and discuss what a child's behaviour might be trying to communicate. Participants will have opportunity to listen and ask questions of the panelists, including inquiry on strategies and ideas to help children develop healthy social and emotional skills; how to recognize non-typical challenging behaviour; setting appropriate interventions; how to support a family during a referral process.
