HomeSchool resourcesSocial emotional learning (SEL)Understanding challenging behaviour in early childhood

This webinar explores why children will exhibit challenging behaviour including a discussion of specific emotional or behavioural difficulties, and how teachers in early childhood contexts can respond positively and effectively to children. The webinar covers both how teachers can engage with children when they are presenting with challenging behaviour as well as providing strategies that teachers can use to support children’s social and emotional competence.
