This workshop looks at understanding the challenging behaviours of children. Shifting our perspective to what is being communicated through challenging behaviour allows us to embrace more positive and pro-active strategies in addressing it.

Perfect for centres with children expressing challenging behaviours, returning to care after an extended break due to the pandemic, and school-age centres as children readjust to school and their new normal. This workshop focuses on school-aged children but can be applied to children of all ages.

He earned his Bachelor of Education from SFU and completed recent graduate programs focused on arts and health & physical education. He has been married for 14 years and has two sons.

 Suitable for school age and early learning professionals plus parents.
