Featured Training: Addressing Infant and Toddler Behaviors that Challenge Adults
All infant and toddler behaviors have meaning, even if adults sometimes find those behaviors challenging. Hear from Beth Zack, Ph.D., Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences at the University of Washington, about why it’s important to reframe how we think about challenging behavior to behavior as a form of communication. Learn about some of the developmental reasons why young children behave in ways that are challenging to adults and how those behaviors relate to the learning domains outlined in the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF). Discover key strategies for addressing behaviors adults find challenging and learn how to support infants and toddlers when they exhibit these behaviors.
