Nothing I Do Works! Understanding, Preventing, and Responding Effectively to Challenging Behavior

Have you ever continued to respond in the same way to a child’s challenging behaviour even though you knew your approach wasn’t working? Many of us keep doing something that doesn’t feel right or have the desired outcome because we don’t know what else to do.

When you understand yourself, recognize which behaviours push your buttons, and acknowledge that a child’s challenging behaviour is rooted in biological and environmental factors, rather than a desire to ruin your day, you are in a much better position to respond effectively. This workshop will help you understand why children behave in a particular way, how to figure out what they need, and how to use evidence-based, proven-effective strategies to meet those needs and manage inappropriate behaviour effectively.
