Sponsored by Second Step

We’ve all been there: A child is beginning to melt down or heat up! What do you do next? In the heat of the moment, has your response ever escalated a child’s challenging behavior? Children’s behavior can escalate quickly. Your feelings about that escalation can erupt just as quickly.

De-escalation – helping children calm down – takes time and only happens intentionally. This webinar presented by one of our profession’s most experienced and wise child development experts, Barbara Kaiser, will help you explore the stages of escalation and ways you can respond that will support and help children to be able to return safely to the group.

In this awe-inspiring webinar, you will learn:

• To identify your feelings when children’s behavior escalates;
• To plan strategies that will help you to self-regulate and slow your responses to avoid behavior escalation;
• The importance of knowing how to identify when children feel good about themselves;
• To understand and identify the stages of behavior escalation;
• How to respond to each stage and help children to de-escalate.

 

All sessions are 1.5 hours long and include a brief announcement from our sponsor.

2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
