Challenging Behavior and Trauma Informed Approach: Taking Theory to Practice (Rescheduled Date)

Teaching and working with children is a privilege and responsibility many of us hold to a high standard. As educators, we strive to adapt and provide the most relevant and up to date frameworks to guide us in our approach and support of those children entrusted to our care.

This will focus on understanding challenging behaviors, trauma informed approach and strategies to support environmental management for children in the early years.

Part One will overview understandings of behavior, and trauma informed approach (TIA), and how we can merge the Behavior and Trauma Informed frameworks. Part Two will overview the use of strategies and approaches to supporting children under the lens of TIA, while addressing challenging behavior and continued skill development.
