Reframing Responses to Challenging Behaviors

After reviewing the module content, reading Ch. 4, and completing the Teaching Social-Emotional Skills from Challenging Behaviors assignment, Please take the time to write a paragraph or so connecting what you saw in the videos from the module overall to our chapter’s content and the idea of viewing challenging behaviors and conflicts as a teachable moment integral to our work with children instead of an inconvenient interruption to our ‘real work.’

Remember, utilizing real-world learning opportunities through working out challenging behaviors is as much the work of early childhood teachers and caregivers as any other learning domain development and possibly moreso than academic teaching. I encourage you to include your own insights and reflections from your experiences as well.
