Supporting Early Years: Understanding & Managing Challenging Behaviour.

Working with young children can be both rewarding and complex, especially when children display challenging behaviours. These behaviours are often a child's way of communicating unmet needs, frustration, or difficulties they cannot yet express verbally. As early years practitioners, understanding the underlying reasons for challenging behaviour is key to supporting children effectively and creating a nurturing, responsive environment.

This training explores the core principles of early childhood development, offers practical strategies for managing challenging behaviours, and emphasises the importance of patience, consistency, and empathy. By building our understanding and skills, we can empower children to develop emotional resilience, enhance their social skills, and foster positive behaviour, laying a strong foundation for their future well-being and learning.
