Reframing: A New Way to Look at Social-Emotional Development and Challenging Behavior 2.0 KCMO 11.21.2018

This session will explore the importance of social and emotional development in the early childhood years, and the ways that teachers can facilitate and enhance this development. Participants will reflect on their own emotional history and reactions to challenging behavior, and learn strategies to "re-frame" these reactions so that we can approach children in a positive, supportive manner. Participants will learn strategies for teaching emotional skills, and discuss how determining the purpose of a behavior can help lead to positive solutions. Finally, we will talk about children who may need more individualized support to learn social and emotional competencies, and practical strategies teachers can use to provide this support.
