DON’T FLIP OUT, USE FLIP IT! TRANSFORMING CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR
Rachel Wagner │ 10:00- 12:00 │ 2 CEUs
A presentation designed to promote a kind and strength-based approach to addressing challenging behavior in young children. Children’s use of challenging behavior seems to be on the rise. We are often stumped by what to say and do when a child has done something hurtful, impulsive, disruptive or disrespectful. FLIP IT! is four simple and effective steps to help us transform a difficult moment into one where everyone can learn and grow. We can help children learn about their feelings and gain self-control by using the mnemonic: Feelings, Limits, Inquiries, Prompts. FLIP IT! is kind, practical, realistic, and will improve your relationships with children ages three through eight years old. During this presentation, you will be inspirited by real-life stories, have opportunities for personal reflection, and be ready to use this strategy immediately.
