Online Masterclasses: A Framework for Understanding and Responding to Children's Behaviour

4-PART ONLINE MASTERCLASS SERIES TEAM TICKET: WEBINAR RECORDINGS INCLUDED

We recognise the significant rise in the number of children exhibiting behaviours that educators and teachers find challenging. Building the skills to manage these big behaviours not only enhances outcomes for children but also supports the well-being of teachers and educators.

To be effective and ensure each child can reach their potential, early childhood professionals need to clearly understand what drives children’s behaviour. Created and led by child development expert Professor Cathrine Neilsen-Hewett, this training equips early childhood educators with evidence-based strategies to address challenging behaviours in children. This 4-part webinar series provides practical tools and ongoing support to empower your entire team with an evidence-informed framework to reduce the incidence of challenging behaviours.
