One size does not fit all. When working with young children who use challenging behavior it is important to have a variety of strategies at your fingertips that meet the needs of each unique child. In this edWebinar we will spotlight five resilience-focused and research-based strategies that help to reduce challenging behavior while also building up a child's strengths. Join the Devereux Center for Resilient Children's Lead Trainer and Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist Rachel Wagner as she brings these strategies to life. You may think you know these strategies, but Rachel will shed new light on their value.

Attendees will learn:

How encouragement done correctly and intentionally can promote prosocial behavior and increase a child's confidence

A four-step strategy called FLIP IT® that helps children become emotionally aware problem solvers

How visual cues can be a powerful way to help children stay on track without your having to lose track

How to develop play plans with children who have difficulty getting engaged and who are often "bouncing" all over the room

A variety of self-soothing tools and how to offer them in ways that truly promote self-regulation

There will be time to ask Rachel your questions after her presentation. You will benefit from this session if you are an early care and education professional working with preschool-age children who use challenging behavior.
