Keeping your cool: responding to challenging behaviour

Keeping our cool - everyday discipline and challenging behaviour (workshop)

We hear all the time that children are becoming more challenging in their behaviour and that staff often struggle to respond effectively when kids are pushing limits or “melting down”. This 3-4 hour workshop aims to keep things simple – we focus on effective strategies for everyday use that help kids get back on track with a minimum of confrontation: if we want cool, respectful kids then we have to walk the talk ourselves.

This is a placeholder for this course - please head to https://www.oscn.nz/training  to see if we have scheduled a date

We use games and practical activities to show how to approach challenging behaviour with a cool head and positive purpose. We can also make links between these everyday discipline practices and strategies needed for children with conditions such as ADHD.

Topics:

• Helping children to behave well: what are we aiming for?

• Low-key discipline techniques for everyday use

• Why are children challenging?

• Effective responses to challenging behaviour: accommodation and intervention strategies

• Evidence-based practice: what can we learn from research into classroom teaching?

We also offer a slightly different course as a webinar. Look for it in our full course catalogue.
