Infants & Toddlers with Challenging Behaviors: Observing our Internal & External Worlds

This training will call upon reflective functioning to think about ways in which we observe young children with challenging behaviors and how we respond. We will think about our implicit biases, behaviors that trigger our own emotional reactions, and how our bodies respond when observing children; learn about developmental milestones for children birth to 36 months; and offer strategies to support children with challenging behaviors. This training includes personal reflection and case studies to support the learner in applying this knowledge to their work. Participants will also have access to handouts to support their learning.
