The Children Who Challenge –Young Children Workshop
This workshop gives professionals and parents culturally responsive strategies for creating environments that help children who are at risk due to behavior problems. This workshop will assess the environments and gives specific examples of how to manage the environment to prevent behavior problems and teach appropriate behaviors. This workshop stresses meeting the needs of the child and presents strategies that are nonpunitive.
This workshop discusses behavior management strategies that will be effective for young children who need additional assistance in maintaining or learning appropriate social skills and behaviors at home and at school. These are children who are disruptive in daycare or preschool settings and/or difficult at home. This workshop will also address the needs of children who display violent behaviors toward adults and other children.
This method is based on the seven principals of Positive Behavior Supports: Gentleness, Education, Choice, Prevention, Respect, Individualism, and Ongoing Support. This method uses a team approach that includes family members who work together with the teachers and other professionals to support the child.
Come join Chris Curry, a dynamic and motivational speaker, as she shares tried and true methods for working with young children with behaviors that challenge.
This workshop will discuss the following:
1. Preventive How to create environments that are developmentally appropriate and meet the young child’s needs, understand how needs are communicated with behavior, and how we to meet those needs and prevent outbursts.

2.Educational How to create environments that teach the child replacement skills that are as easy or easier to perform, that are more socially acceptable, and that serve the same function as the behavior they are designed to replace.
3. Respectful How to create environments that treat children with dignity and respect.
4. Individualize. How to create environments where you can recognize each child’s individual needs and respond to each child according their individual needs.
