SUMMARY:Flip It: Educators Learn They Can Transform Challenging Behavior
DESCRIPTION:In uncertain times\, children often express stress through challenging behavior\, leaving educators unsure how to respond. \nFLIP IT Instead of Flipping Out: Educators Can Transform Challenging Behavior by using four simple\, effective steps that turn difficult moments into learning opportunities. \nWe can help children understand their feelings and build self-control using the mnemonic: F-Feelings\, L-Limits\, I-Inquiries\, P-Prompts. This kind\, practical approach strengthens relationships with children ages 3–8. \n  \nPlease email Training@elc-marion.org for any questions.
