Challenging Behaviors: Where Do We Begin?

"Challenging behaviors are complex to understand and frustrating to handle. When we make the effort and succeed, even in small ways, we can be certain that it is making a difference in that child's life - a difference that can last a lifetime."
-- Fred Rogers

Challenging Behaviors is designed as an introductory training workshop to help educators understand more about challenging behaviors in young children, address the strong feelings this behavior may evoke in the educators themselves, and implement changes in their approaches which can support young children's growth in self-regulation and appropriate behavior.

Challenging Behaviors includes:
Facilitator's Guide - The Facilitator's Guide provides step-by-step instructions for presenting this three-hour workshop. The workshop format includes the use of video segments, large and small group discussions, lecture, and hands-on activities. It is housed in a 3-ring binder for portability and ease of use during presentations.
Video Components - Video segments include clips of providers talking about their experiences with children who exhibit challenging behavior.
CD-ROM - The CD-ROM contains presentation slides for the training including video segments in sequence, and all workshop handouts in PDF files format. Handout Masters - Reproducible handout masters include all workshop activities and ideas and suggestions that can help providers when dealing with children’s angry behavior.
Additional Background Materials - The workshop appendix contains useful background material related to working with children who exhibit challenging behavior. Supplemental Materials - Many of our trainings have benefited by including various supplemental materials that extend what participants have learned in the workshops.

"With 'Challenging Behavior's: Where Do We Begin?', Family Communications continues its tradition of offering trainers the tools they need to help child care providers build on strengths and caring relationships in even the most difficult of circumstances. Compelling videos, well chosen summaries of research, a tested workshop outline, and engaging materials for the participants why trainers as they create a calm, safe environment; demonstrate respect for caregivers knowledge, skills and concern for children; and set in motion a process of positive change the children, families and communities."
-- Emily Fenichel, Zero to Three
