Description: This training explores how educators can guide children’s behavior through understanding, empathy, and intentional teaching rather than punishment. Participants will learn how to build supportive relationships, create emotionally responsive environments, and apply positive guidance strategies that help children develop self-control, problem-solving skills, and respect for others. Grounded in child development principles, this course emphasizes preventive approaches and real-world classroom strategies that foster cooperation, independence, and confidence.
