Welcome to the next session in the Pyramid Model Infant-Toddler Training Series, where we are going to learn about how we can better understand and respond to behavior.
Working with infants and toddlers is rewarding, but it can also sometimes be challenging. In Understanding Behavior, participants will learn how to use observation to better understand child behavior. We will look at the many influences affecting behavior and use this knowledge to examine our own beliefs. We will practice reframing our thoughts to better respond to challenging situations.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand and describe that all young children’s behavior is a way of communicating and has meaning
- Use a variety of strategies, including observation and self-reflection, to increase capacity to support social-emotional development of infants, toddlers, and their families
