Early Childhood Education
Total Behavior Management workshops are designed for all school personnel.
Participants walk away with hundreds of
practical, "best practice" strategies that are easily implemented and based on current research.
Early childhood education today requires teachers to address issues that they may not be informed enough to resolve properly. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry states:
"Rather than confronting mental health issues systematically, the nation has sought quick fixes, such as the extensive use of drugs on preschoolers with behavioral problems. Instead changes are needed across the board to focus on distinguishing between kids with serious emotional disorders and those who are simply immature or experiencing short term developmental delays."
Utilizing proven practices, current research and practical strategies this workshop is essential for all that work in early childhood.
