Description

Prerequisite to attend:  Behave Yourself! Part 1.

PLEASE NOTE: The cost of  $67.98 (Plus HST) covers both days of training. This is Part 2 of the two sessions offered. Part 1 will take place on March 23, 2023 at 1:00 pm. To register, you must be able to attend both days. When you register for Part 1, you will automatically be registered for Part 2.

Behave Yourself is a workshop that is interactive, informative and engaging. It combines the scientific theory of behaviour with a realistic understanding about every day relationships in a child care setting. Staff will go back to their work life with a number of tools to address behaviour.

Session Two will cover:

  • Review and analyze of your data since Session One and determine the possible function of the behaviour.

  • Respond: Understand the best way to respond to inappropriate/interfering behaviours according to their function

  • Replace: How to increase and reinforce the positive and prosocial behaviours

  • Reinforce: Tips/Tools for teaching new behaviours

  • Maintaining your progress: family, child and colleagues working together as a team.

Through group activities, informal discussion, and reflection on your personal work environment, staff will be encouraged to look at behaviour in a new way. When we know that when kids ‘behave’, they are trying to tell us something, we can move forward in creating a positive and supportive environment for everyone.

Session Objective

Navigating children’s behaviours can be confusing, frustrating and time consuming. This two part workshop focuses on the skills needed for staff in a child care setting to understand why behaviours happen, how to prevent interfering behaviours and how to preserve the pro-social ones. Session One will cover defining behaviours, and choosing a target behaviour to address in your workplace. You will be required to take data, and return to Session Two prepared to analyse the data and create a plan to address the target behaviour.
