Registration: Responding to Persistent Challenging Behaviors in Preschool

Challenging behaviors are often part of the typical development of young children. Preschool-age children are learning to regulate their behaviors and emotions, solve problems, and communicate with increasing independence. But they still need adult support, especially when feelings are intense. Persistent challenging behavior can interfere with a child’s ability to learn and build positive relationships with adults and peers. This webinar discusses ways to provide individualized positive behavior support to ensure a healthy learning environment for all.

This webinar is offered with English and Spanish captioning. Certificates of completion are available for this webinar.

In this webinar, we’re discussing:

• How to identify the function of challenging behavior
