Understanding and Managing Challenging and Aggressive Behaviors in Young Children
April 15, 2015
Edwin W. Monroe AHEC Conference Center
Greenville, NC
Young children (toddlers through second grade) may frequently display challenging and aggressive behaviors. Many factors influence behavior, and clinicians and therapists need to be able to determine the potential causes of these behaviors. This workshop will provide an overview of childhood development, discuss how development influences behavior, differentiate between guidance, discipline and punishment, and discuss the power of role models and communication. It will also provide assessment tools and strategies as well as specific techniques and interventions for challenging and aggressive behaviors. This workshop will utilize small and large group activities, video presentations, and discussion throughout the day, and will provide participants with practical information in managing challenging behaviors.
