Preventing and Responding to Challenging Behavior: A Daily Concern for Early Childhood Educators
Challenging behavior is a significant concern for early childhood educators, affecting approximately 10 to 14 percent of children from birth to 5 years old. It has a profound impact on their learning and social interactions. Understanding the reasons behind challenging behavior is essential in addressing it effectively. This book curates and organizes articles from Young Children and Teaching Young Children that help teachers build trust and connections with children, highlight evidence-based positive behavior intervention and support strategies, aim to prevent suspension, expulsion, and other punitive discipline, support teachers and families in implementing effective teaching strategies for social and emotional skills, and show how to adapt practices to consider the cultures and contexts of children. Each article in this collection is accompanied by questions to prompt deeper thinking on the content, allowing educators to fully see and hear children as they honor and support their well-being, as well as their own.
