There is no doubt that there is little more frustrating than a problematic child in a classroom. What if, however, we received their behavior as communication rather than opposition? This workshop spends time discussing various problematic behaviors that children present and the messages coded within these behaviors. This workshop empowers teachers to engage with these students in more productive and less stress-inducing ways and provides practical strategies to integrate into classroom practice.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the underlying messages within children’s challenging behaviors
- Identify their own “hot buttons” and how these personal sensitivities might be pushed by the behavior of children
- Use at least three strategies to use in the classroom to address challenging behaviors and to honor the messages children are trying to communicate within these behaviors.
