SUMMARY:Uncovering the Roots of Challenging Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Children exhibit behaviors that providers define challenging even at an early age\, especially when they interfere with their daily lives.  To help understand behavior from infancy through school-age\, this training will explore the causes\, concerns\, and questions that arise.  Adults must be ready to engage\, connect\, become curious\, and respond positively.  By exploring and collaborating with young children early on\, we can help them develop powerful alternatives to communicate their needs and develop appropriate skills. \nTrainer: Marquita Myles\, 4-C Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n2 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \n4-C Members: Free \nNon 4-C Members: $10

SUMMARY:Navigating Stressors in Child Care
DESCRIPTION:A career in child care can be highly rewarding\, but it can also be stressful. Despite exposure to illness\, physically demanding work\, and lower wages\, child care providers bring passion and enthusiasm to the classroom every day.

SUMMARY:Hey\, Why is that Lady in a Wheelchair?: Disability Awareness for Young Children
DESCRIPTION:Young children are naturally curious…they’re supposed to be.  We want them to be and that’s how they learn. So how to we nurture that curiosity in situations where they encounter something or someone new and different from them? Participants will discuss and explore new ways to “normalize” disabilities so the curiosity becomes natural interaction. We will examine ways to build this into the everyday environment and discuss the value\, or invalue\, of simulating disabilities (for example\, pretending to be blind to see how that “might feel”). Finally\, participants will take an introspective look at their own views and experiences to examine how this may impact integration of this topic into their classroom. \nTrainer: Ann Wilson\, 4-C Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator \nAudience: All Providers \n2 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free

SUMMARY:Cool\, Calm\, and Collected: Responding to Challenging Behaviors Instead of Reacting

Utilizing scenarios and small group discussion\, we will reflect on ways you can apply the Steps to Prevent Suspensions/Expulsions tool in order to build your capacity and respond to children and their families with wisdom and compassion\, and how when to seek help from outside sources.  **Must attend both sessions to receive credit** \nTrainer: Andrea Cossey\, 4-C Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n4 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Intermediate \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free

SUMMARY:Understanding Children's Temperament
DESCRIPTION:Temperament is a way children respond to the world. It influences the way children handle emotions\, regulate behavior\, feel around new people and adapt to new situations.  You can nurture a child’s development by using strategies that suit their temperaments.  Nevertheless\, the behavioral adjustment of young children depends a lot on the interaction between their temperament and yours and how others respond to them – how comfortably they fit within their environment and the people around them. We will explore children’s temperament and how to respond. \nTrainer: Marquita Myles\, 4-C Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n1.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee:  \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free

SUMMARY:Understanding Children's Temperament
DESCRIPTION:Temperament is the way children respond to the world. It influences the way children handle emotions\, regulate behavior\, feel around new people\, and adapt to new situations. You can nurture a child’s development by using strategies that suit their temperaments.  Nevertheless\, the behavioral adjustment of young children depends a lot upon the interaction between their temperament and yours and how others respond to them – how comfortably they fit within their environment and the people around them. We will explore children’s temperament and how to respond. \nTrainer: Marquita Myles\, 4-C Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n1.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free
