In this Tackling Challenging Behaviors webinar series, we will share innovative approaches to building a positive classroom environment. These strategies not only mitigate challenging behaviors, they significantly increase delightful interactions!

Join our experts as they share how to develop strong trust with the children in your care. You will learn: 

• how to use music and movement for joy, fun, and increased focus;
• turn transitions into meaningful parts of your day;
• how to inspire the desire to behave well;
• and so much more!

Tackling Challenging Behaviors with OPPORTUNITY: everyday you have time when you need to engage the whole group of children in your care. Join us to learn how the Good Thinking strategy can engage everyone, even the distracted ones, and how using sound (and silence) can establish clear expectations and set boundaries.
