Description: Behavior guidance is more than managing misbehavior—it’s about shaping character, building confidence, and nurturing the whole child. In this training, early childhood professionals will discover positive, age-appropriate approaches that encourage children to develop self-regulation, empathy, and respect for others. Participants will gain practical tools to guide children through challenging moments while maintaining a calm, supportive classroom environment that fosters growth, cooperation, and lifelong success.
