Why do they do that?

UNDERSTAND THE WHY
LEARN THE HOW

Do you ever wonder what children’s behaviors are really telling you?
 
Together let's discover the “why” behind the tricky moments that often get called misbehavior. By seeing behavior through a developmental lens, you’ll uncover what children are trying to communicate and gain simple, practical ways to respond.
Aggression? Chewed shirt sleeves? Constant movement with boundless energy?

In two hours, ​you will gain easy-to-use tips, fresh ideas, and hands-on strategies to help calm the meltdowns, ease transitions, and bring more joy into your day with children.

Understand the why. Learn the how.​

YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Developmental reasons behind four common behaviors
  • Specific functions of three areas of the brain
  • Strategies to help with behavior
  • ​Ideas and tools to promote healthy self regulation skills ​​
