By bridging the gap between research and practice and bringing together information drawn
from neuroscience, psychology, and years of experience working with young children, this
workshop will help you to understand how your culture and life experiences impact your
expectations of children’s ability and behavior and why certain behaviors push your buttons. You
will recognize that a child’s challenging behavior is rooted in biological and environmental risk
factors and not a desire to ruin your day. It explores why a child behaves in a particular way,
how to figure out what he or she needs, and how to use evidence-based, proven-effective
strategies to prevent and respond effectively to inappropriate behavior when it occurs.
