Parent Talk for Preschools & Early Learning Centres
 

Meltdowns and Challenging Behaviour
Decoding what children’s feelings and behaviour may be telling you about their needs
 

Is your preschool or early learning centre struggling with children's challenging behaviour? Are you noticing that parents are unsure about how best to respond to these behaviours and help their child thrive?

This parent talk is aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework.  It presents a holistic overview of what may be triggering children's challenging behaviours; and how parents and educators can respond in a way that reduces these difficulties and creates a deeper connection with the child.

Parent Feedback: “Tonight was extremely helpful. I learned about nutritional needs and sleep needs for behaviour as well as about play and sensory needs. I’m inspired to make changes”

Educator Feedback: “The presentation was beneficial for parents and educators… how to approach meltdowns, how to help children calm and process their feelings”

1 hour presentation, 30 minutes question time.
